Joe,

I don't know if the names I gave to those colors would match up with any charts for computer applications or not. There really is a lot of wiggle room when it comes to naming colors.

I've worked with color a lot. I've been a weaver for many years and I frequently dye the yarn or the finished cloth myself. I have done a little bit of painting (on canvas and on walls). I also did a brief stint working for an interior designer. Those are just some names that I have come across in my own experience.

Mbo - I once saw a sort of off-white wall paint called "quincy". Go figure.

Well, I always found those color things silly at best. I don't know which hit me first, but I think probably my man Lenny Bruce, when he felt the same way after discovering something called "Doofy Blue." He then proceeded to buy mass quantities of all kinds of paint in that color and paint his world Doofy Blue.

Then of course there was "Whiter shade of pale" and I never have figured out what the hell that is......

Joe, you can create any color you want if you know how and do the values thingie, so much red, so much blue, so much yellow........ (ps--I can't, I just have the code numbers...and I'm chicken to experiment since I changed the whole thread to red, remember?)

But just wait until you go to the paint store looking for something like "New Adobe" or "Old Adobe"........('dobe as we said in New Mexico). Aint no such thing, all depends on what color the clay was to begin with!

And I promised not to ever experiment with colors again....beats me how Mick does his FairOne thing, must have been a LOT of html in the original!!

I like to use this page for choosing the right color for a web page. I just have to remember to make the hexadecimal number larger to make the color pastel. (light is different from pigments.) As far as the names of these colors...the women's fashion industry usually comes up with some good ones each year. I remember periwinkle which is quite different from powder blue or baby blue or royal blue. My favorite description is still "school bus yellow." ...no explanation necessary for us in the States.

Carol, it's only an 18" table top loom, and has been in the closet for years..........I would love to do "natural" dyes and mordants only, but as you say, they can be very dangerous.And, I have no clue as to the warp threads, except for "perle cotton."

It's mostly that I am an adult, and have "other" things to do with my time. No "Mommie" to say--"You HAVE to practice NOW"..........type thing.

Aha, fellow textile folks! The living history museum I work for does a lot with hand textile processes. Chemicals be damned, we work with a lot of natural dyes. Bill D, if you were suggesting you might send wood chips off to someone who could use them for dyeing, we'd be a happy recipient, especially of logwood, which was a popular imported dye during the late 18th century. By the way, speaking of toxic stuff, I understand that brazilwood dust or shavings can be very bad for the lungs, so if you're working with that I hope you're taking precautions! And while we're talking about weird color names, it was apparently osage orange that yielded khaiki (did I spell that right?) during WWI. Mary, I always equated powder blue with baby blue. What's the difference? Margaret

Hi Margaret, I think of powder blue as more gray than baby blue. I tried to find some examples on the 'net to show you and realized just how subjective all this is! I'm influenced by ladies fashions and paint chips from paint stores and labs. I used to work as a research chemist in a paint lab. We had fun making up descriptive names, but they were hardly "official." One of our favorites was for an oil company which had to have all their paints tinted to one of five different greens. We called one of them "puke green."

Seriously though, there are millions of colors possible. What we know by certain names is just the particular advertising we've been exposed to. I think artists have names for the pigments they use, and many of the colors they create are somewhat standard.

Here's a link I found in which you can sort by name. (Don't ask me who came up with these names.) click here http://www.cythink.com/colors/webpalette.asp You'll see powder blue, and then below it somewhat, sky blue (which is my impression of baby blue.)

Modern computers typically use 3 bytes to produce colour, which can be represented as Red, Green and Blue values each ranging from 0 to 255. This is the system HTML uses (FF is 255 in Hexadecimal notation) and is a fairly standard one.

Using this system we have 256 to the power 3 (or 2 to the power 24) colours to play with. This yeilds a range of 16,777,216 posible colours.

Other colour models in use are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow (CMY)often with black added (CMYK) which is most commonly used in printing, Brightness Hue and Satuaration and Luminance and CIE (International Commission on Illumination) models.

Colours...I heard a marketing poobah say about six years ago "Teal is going to be HUGE", so don't blame it on the Net. (Look into the socalled United Colours of Benetton, now there's a conspiracy.)

I have spent a lot of time this summer mixing paint in a hardware store. Popular new line: Martha Stewart (gag me with a stir-stick). The paint isn't any better, but the colours are just so gosh-darn tasteful. Luckily they don't come in exterior paint, Martha's being an interior world...and by the way, Martha is VERY proprietary about those colours, we are strictly enjoined against mixing a different brand of base to one of her colour formulas. (That's why we have the line, in fact: the chain that had it previously in Canada got caught doing that. You know, by the Martha Stewart Private Colour Squad)

Good old Tremclad (the stuff you splash over your old car to hide the rust) comes in something called J.D. Green -- if you don't have a rural background you might not immediately catch that this is John Deere Green.

Willie O. I walked into Zellers a year ago and discovered that all of their sheets etc. are a line of Martha Stewart products, I was considerate and did not throw up on the floor but I outright refused to buy ANYTHING with that name on it. Besides they were more expensive and didn't have the colours I wanted. According to an interior decorator I heard on the radio this spring Orange is the colour of the millenium. I'll pass thanks, can I go to the next millenium?

Why did God make the sky Carolina blue? It was all he had left. And Mary...I thought you were a good Louisville girl? But, uh, all the same....GO BLUE!

AND regarding SNOT.........A real popular question with the triage types and the Docs when you have an upper respiratory infection these days is, "What color is your phlegm?" Now how in the hell can you describe that? "Well Doc, its a kind of dull yellow with shades of greenish-tan leading to a gray kinda' hue........"

Margaret, My sheep are in Vermont, but I ship fleece anywhere in the US. (I don't know about import laws and raw wool to other parts.)I send samples and people say 'I want that one'. If I still have it I send it. And they do NOT have mad cow disease.

Looms. Hmm.

"Puce" is a French word meaning "flea" and "mauve" is a wildflower that's. . . violet.

cheers,

Guest/Airto, Martha Stewart is a home-decorating maven whose perfectly-coifed head is on scores of house-hold items. Incidentally, she also makes 'house calls, so to speak- she was in Juneau last week with her camera crew. The local people say she wasn't very chatty, but all business.

Speaking of paint colors, I recently bought a gallon of 'Attorney White'- turned out to be a deep tan. (??)

Thanks for the explanation, Ebbie.

By the way, from your experience with 'Attorney White', it sounds like Spaw has found the perfect colour description for his snot - Attorney's Pick. There's no guessing the colour till you take it out and look.

Or 'Handyman's Purple' - the color your thumb turns when you hit it.
There already is an 'Engineer's Blue' which has nothing to do with the language they use.

What have I wrought!! On the other hand, how about 'Cruiseship-Smoke Gray', 'Bilgewater Pure', or 'Anaheim Glitter'?

Oh Ebbie, I know how you feel, and the tourists aren't nearly so bad here. Mostly they consist of buses going by and staring at us as we work outside. They also look at the leaves, and the ones in their own cars are a real caution. Do they ever go home in your town?

As the thread wanders..........

The tourist thing always brings back memories of college. I went to Berea in Kentucky and even before it went the entire route of artsy/fartsy which much of the town has become, it was always a popular place with tourists to see the crafts and folklore exhibits of the southern mountains and to tour the student industries. Berea takes its students from 244 appalachian counties and there is no tuition, only nominal fees for room and board. Students work 15-20 hours per week in various areas, from broom making and weaving to service jobs around campus to assisting professors. The college operates a hotel and restaurant that is 95% student run known as Boone Tavern and is very popular with tourists as the food is excellent and served family style.

However and because of all this, the folks passing through expect that students are somehow different. Its true that the mean family income when I was there in the late 60's was only $3600., but you couldn't tell that by looking and it always seemed to disappoint the tourists. On numerous occasions, several of us discussed dressing in bibs, barefoot, with a piece of hay in our mouths and hanging out in front of Boone. It would have overjoyed the diners so much to see "real poor hillbilly kids" and I think their visit would have been more memorable.

Ah, Spaw, what a good idea! Here, I guess we'd have to drape a wolf pelt over our bare shoulders with mukluks on our feet and stroll the streets and hillsides with a pet bear. Maybe we look too 'normal' and that's why tourists don't see us on the sidewalks and jostle us as they pass, or block the way in groups so that we must step into the street to get by. If we would only act the part of the wilderness north, just think of the photo opps! I'll pass the word.

Yes, CamiSu, the last ships leave in the last week of September and then we get our town back.

You know all those places you are supposed to be able to see bears, elk, moose, or whatever local critter that people associate with that place? In many cases, the population is declining and I wonder if someone has the "Bear Conceesion" or whatever. Like once a day they take them to some spot where they walk down to the road and the passers-by can ogle them and grab some photo ops.

"Okay Fred, load up Ben and Frieda and those two cubs and take down to 256. We'll take Brownie and Slewfoot over to 79."
