What's your favorite color?

I like glaucous green.

Mine is WHITE

This.

Glaucous green must NOT be confused with the rancid khaki!

Robin's Egg Blue

Purple

Blush pink

Oops

The very deep did rot: O Christ!

That ever this should be!

Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs

Upon the slimy sea.

Blue. Duh.

Red, baby.

White

In Fabric? Red.

Dark periwinkle blue

I like this blue.

White

Too many to name. I adore robin egg blue too, though the one upthread is what I would call “robin egg green.” Oddly, one of my current favorites though it’s not in my house (and won’t be) is chartreuse. I desperately needed something unmuted, unneutral, unsoftened, undusky, ungrayed. We have been in the era of gray for over a decade now, I just get sooooooooooo tired of it. True, it is safe — one can’t make many mistakes with grays. However, one also cannot take risks or be playful with them either!

Scarlet

Chartreuse

Green

YInMn Blue

White

Plaid

What’s YLNMN Blue? Whatever it is, it is beautiful!

BURNT ORANGE in a leader

OP: Move to Eugene, Oregon.

R27, but where do you move when you nominate chartreuse? Or purple?

The color chartreuse is what prompted me to make this post! I love that color as well... it's such a strange, vibrant one. It should be off putting, but I love it.

Brown.

Queen Elizabeth's Royal Family Order is on chartreuse silk. What could be more prestigious!?!

R29, I have a terrible terrible secret to tell you. You know what made me fall in love with chartreuse? Patricia. Of Southern Charm. Her house was done by the great interior designer Mario Buatta. Behold! You’ll love it even more.

I live in Chicago — our gray winter light would destroy chartreuse. Part of why it’s so magical in her home is the sunlight.

Another vote for purple.

British khaki- for leather. Volvo used to outfit their cars in a G.I. Joe bionic arm orange and I love that one as well.

Salmon pink.

Cerulean.

Royal claret, the accent color of the Queen’s State Bentley...because royalty, expensive cars, and booze.

Sandringham Claret over black was the Rolls Royce color reserved for the royals. Interesting that the new Phantom VI given to her in 2017 was simply referred to as royal claret.

chartreuse

turquoise

other shades of blue and green

Puce

R40, "Puce is the French word for flea. The color is said to be the color of bloodstains on linen or bedsheets, even after being laundered, from a flea's droppings, or after a flea has been crushed."

shar-TROOSE

chartreuse

It depends on what it is. I wear a lot of blue and black, I enjoy jewel-type colors on furniture fabric, etc. My eye seems to be drawn to things that are a vivid red (not sure of the name).

Every blue, blue is The best.

Chartreuse all the way, baby.

Grün

R43 That's beautiful!

Chartreuse is as ugly as Eau-de-Nil ( i.e. the putrid, cholera-carrying waters of the River Nile

Hahaha, R49 that shade of green is gorgeous. I've never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing!

Never, EVER pair up Eau-de-Nil with Burnt Orange. It will give you nightmares.

[quote]Never, EVER pair up ANYTHING with Burnt Orange. It will give you nightmares.

Fixed.

I will slap your head with a Huarache, r52.

As long as it's not Burnt Orange, r53...

Prussian blue

I couldn't choose between Green and Purple. I love them in deep warm shades.

Salmon pink

Which of these is true Prussian blue? They all look a little different to me.

Hues of icy blue.

Burnt Sienna

Periwinkle

Teal green.

I always think of Teal as a shade of blue. It is, of course, blue-green.

Jungle Red

the whole purple family - purple, lavender, lilac, violet, etc

Big, bossy bottom brown

^ I see that as a Burgundy or a Deep Scarlet rather than brown.

R58, Prussian Blue is the deepest of the ones you picked. Think of it almost if you combined sapphire with navy. There is NO hint of green, teal, gray, nothing but a deep blue. It is a true shade, not a neutral gray. Color Theory 101:

Hue = Color

Tint = Color + White

Shade = Color + Black

Neutral Gray = Color + Black + White

When I was an art student in Color Theory, our painting teacher explained neutral grays this way. “The cheap clothes most of you buy that are grays are just shades or tints. True designer clothing have their fabric custom dyed using neutral grays because they are 1000 times more interesting.”

I also quickly learned from Color theory that neutral grays are how you make rich gorgeous flesh tones using complementary colors plus black and white. For example, my pale Polish ass required blue + orange + White + Black. However, to save money I also learned to start with white and gradually mix in the other color, this was true regardless of skin color. One of my figure painting models was Egyptian/Mediterranean. For her I would use red + green + White + Black because she was more olive complected.

Turquoise

YlnMn Blue is supposed to be first new blue pigment identified in the last 200 years. Artists and designers made it all the rage a few seasons ago, but really, the average person can't tell YInMn Blue from Cobalt Blue or Ultramarine Blue.

Kelly Green

All of them.

Russian red

The warm reddish-brown above looks like it's from Pannetone trend colors of Spring/Summer 2019.

Indigo.

Thank you, R67. And you, too, r74. I love it when I can learn something.

Marrs green, the World's Favorite Color in 2017. One of my favorites since forever.

Greenery, Pantone's 2017 Color of the Year

The color of a beautiful blue sky.

I have heard that yellow is an unsinful colour.

Brown, yellow, and orange are all a sin.

I'd certainly like to be able to buy a desk model of the Anglepoise lamp in this story.

I hate green and yellow

I don't understand hating a color. They're all great depending on the context. Except for forest green, which is always great.

Sapphire Blue

Burgundy?

Yellow and red — Panettone’s colors of forever

And McDonalds.
