Oh man, it's totes between green and orange for me. How can I choose?

fillibustar superstar! (Abbott), Friday, 24 April 2009 17:24 (fifteen years ago) link

black and white make the list, but not grey?!?

how can it not be green

Young Chizzy (country matters), Friday, 24 April 2009 17:42 (fifteen years ago) link

grey would have been my second choice i think

Everyone's favorite fucking color is blue. Think of something else.

(Also, see Curt1s Stephens' post, color is always about relationships, never absolutes.)

tits akimbo (kenan), Saturday, 25 April 2009 04:20 (fifteen years ago) link

(to be honest, I'm not even sure what orange IS. I've had arguments about whether something is orange or red. This is not a color at all, really.)

tits akimbo (kenan), Saturday, 25 April 2009 04:23 (fifteen years ago) link

Gothin out and going with black which I've been a staunch fan of since my early years. When I was a kid I loved the way black looked with blue and purple. I used to put my black crayon between the blue and purple ones in my crayon box. I was kind of OCD about it. Hurray bruises?

ciara1985 (circa1916), Saturday, 25 April 2009 05:11 (fifteen years ago) link

Orange and black are so awesome together, it's a pity that they mean "Halloween" to so many.

tits akimbo (kenan), Saturday, 25 April 2009 05:27 (fifteen years ago) link

Like how red and green together mean Christmas. Wherefore? Since when? I've been bitter about this issue since 2nd grade, when the "art" teacher told me that my little design was shit since it was red and green, and that's only for Christmas. I don't agree with that even on the tree. Trees should have white lights. White ribbons are much snazzier than red ribbons, on gifts or on wreaths. Red is so light in this shit.

tits akimbo (kenan), Saturday, 25 April 2009 05:34 (fifteen years ago) link

green walks this

Millsner, Saturday, 25 April 2009 05:36 (fifteen years ago) link

In 1st grade I told my teacher that coloring was a waste of time. She brought it up at one of those parent teacher things, and was like, yeah, it's a waste of time. Yellow forever, the most misunderstood color.

Mulvaney, Saturday, 25 April 2009 05:46 (fifteen years ago) link

I have to respect that, even if I don't agree. :)

tits akimbo (kenan), Saturday, 25 April 2009 05:59 (fifteen years ago) link

my favorite color in kindergarten was green because i did really well on an assignment or something with a fat green pencil. But I don't really like green as an adult for whatever reason

Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 25 April 2009 06:02 (fifteen years ago) link

Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 25 April 2009 06:02 (fifteen years ago) link

Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 25 April 2009 06:04 (fifteen years ago) link

No, most of mine are that off-white bumpy color, but I do have a nice display wall in the bedroom that's bright red, and I'm kind of proud of it.

I have prejudices against blue. In fact I have a desktop background that I put up sometimes so I don't get all panty-twisted over everyone wanting everything to be blue all the time. It says, "Blue is not the enemy."

Actually... I think I DO hate blue sky. Or at least I fear it, because that's where sun comes from. Somewhere there's a picture of 14-yr-old me at the beach in a turtleneck.

Y'know it's funny on the same tip I adore blue and especially sky and sea blue but could never bring myself to vote for it because it's also the colour of the Tories.

purple is the colour of depression. no wonder i knit so many things in that colour until my husband demanded i stop using purply yarn. hah

is it the color of depression?

becuz i've come to understand that my inner color is a deep smoky purple

but it's also supposed to be the color of grandeur

Red. Burnt orange. Burnt red. Mostly red.

Red does something funny to me, especially if it's dancing about somewhere near a smokey sky blue.

7-11 has their own generic cheetohs now ... they're pretty awesome. I've tried just about every organic yuppie cheese puff variety and they just don't compare to the glory of cheetohs.

I'm not so big on the spicy ones. The Barbara's ones are the best I've had so far that aren't real cheetohs, except for the 7-11 ones, which are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

CaptainLorax, Saturday, 1 August 2009 03:04 (fourteen years ago) link

I've been into orange lately. Yellow is very interesting to me conceptually. It looks so different from red and green! Whereas I can grasp cyan as a mix of green and blue, and purple as a mix of red and blue.

1992 ball boy (Karl Malone), Monday, 6 July 2015 21:00 (eight years ago) link

I can grasp cyan as a mix of green and blue

I still can't grasp additive colors on an intuitive level, probably because I had 'green = yellow + blue' drilled into my head by 10+ years of grade school art teachers (and a school play about red blue & yellow working together as a team). I wonder if I would benefit from deprogramming.
