Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: MMario Date: 03 Nov 00 - 04:19 PM teal. but not the ucky greenish teal that is so commercially available, but the richer, more bluish-emerald-greenish-turquoise-ish teal more like what you actually see ON a teal. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: annamill Date: 03 Nov 00 - 04:44 PM Firecat, your right! MMario, what's a teal? I think that's my favorite color too. That's what color my van is anyway. Love, annamill |
|
Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: MMario Date: 03 Nov 00 - 04:50 PM a teal is sorta like a duck. see this picture which doesn't do it justice at all and is the wrong colour to boot. |
|
Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: mousethief Date: 03 Nov 00 - 04:51 PM I was very happy when the "southwest colours" came into vogue about 10 years ago. Teal, terra cotta, and such. Then they went back out of vogue again and I was less happy.

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: SINSULL Date: 03 Nov 00 - 05:09 PM Pagoda Red - bright red-orange like Chinese enamel. In a fit of temper, I painted my bedroom with it. I will never have anything but a Pagoda Red bedroom as long as I live. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: annamill Date: 03 Nov 00 - 05:12 PM Thank you, MM, at last I know it's a duck. MT, I'm aware of the southwest colours( love the sp) and when I move to San Diego (La Jolla) inna couple of years, I'm doing my whole life in those colours. Now I know what teal is. It's that beautiful delicate bluish-greenish color that is always matched with terra- cotta and lightish pink that you associate with the southwest. I'm tired! I think I'll go home now! Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: guinnesschik Date: 03 Nov 00 - 05:17 PM Aubergine and emerald, ruby and silver, black and blue. Anything that's dark and bright at the same time. Firecat, I think it's a fun thread. ;-)g'chik |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: GUEST Date: 03 Nov 00 - 05:18 PM All of them - but I'm color-blind. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: annamill Date: 03 Nov 00 - 05:20 PM SINSULL, I read somewhere..actually serveral somewheres that you should never have RED in your bedroom because it is such an angry colour. It should be a soothing colour like light blue or green. Red supposedly causes relationships to go bad, causing arguments and such. I'm just telling you what I read. That's why they've painted hospitals these colours. To sooth. I'm going home to my soothing water and fireplace. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Burke Date: 03 Nov 00 - 05:29 PM I'm a teal lover as well. Also purple, mauve, dark rose to cranberry, raspberry, not necessarily together :-) |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Tig Date: 03 Nov 00 - 05:30 PM Is this what you get up to when we leave you home alone? Healer blue of course, plus harper blue next to it. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Troll Date: 03 Nov 00 - 06:49 PM Green. But NOT that "institutional green" that they seem to paint the hallways of govt. buildings. A nice Hunter green or British Racing green. Or granite-grey like the walls of my cave. troll |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: CarolC Date: 03 Nov 00 - 07:55 PM Firecat, Have you read the Lord of the Rings trilogy? I've always wanted to be able to create something that would look like the robe that was mostly white, but that subtly changed colors when the robe moved and shifted. I can't remember if Gandalf wore it, or if it was Sarumen. I've been a weaver for almost twenty years, and I've been puzzling over that one for almost that long, but I've never gotten anywhere close to the results I wanted. That's my favorite color. Carol

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 03 Nov 00 - 08:31 PM I thought there should be some songs in here:
The Red Flag
I missed out Indigo, because I'm never too sure what it look like, and I don't know a song for it. (Mood Indigo doesn't count, unless it's got words I've never heard.)

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: P05139 Date: 03 Nov 00 - 09:05 PM I'm not complaining but I think this is turning in to a Mudcat Technicolour Dreamcoat, you know the one "It was scarlet and black and ochre and peach and ruby and olive and violet and fawn and cream and crimson and silver and rose and azure and lemon and russet and grey and purple and white and pink and orange and blue!!" (Andrew Lloyd Webber/ Tim Rice in "Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: P05139 Date: 15 Nov 00 - 07:16 AM I know it's been ages since I looked at this thread, but I'm glad people like it. CarolC, no I haven't read Lord Of The Rings, but my midle name (Arwen) comes from it. I think she's an elf or summat, isn't she? This rainbow's gonna be v.v.v.v.v.v.v. pretty, I think. Thanks to all of you who answered. I'll put your names in it!! |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: mkebenn Date: 15 Nov 00 - 07:34 AM Firecat, Arwen Evenstar, Queen of the west, and desended from the Eldar. As for me, blues for music and clothing, white for jeeps. Mike Bennett |
|
Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: CarolC Date: 15 Nov 00 - 08:07 AM Hi Firecat. Yes, she's an elf from Rivendell. As mkebenn said, an elfqueen. Those are good books. You might enjoy them. I'd read The Hobbit first, though, if you haven't already. I'm looking foreward to hearing about how you do my color. (grin) Carol |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 15 Nov 00 - 08:36 AM Green, because the human eye can identify more shades of green than any other colour, and there's so much of it in nature. Blue, like the sea on a stormy day - grey-blue and wild. Red, especially Pompeii red (the Pompeii frescoes have this amazing, unique colour that has not been recreated to the same intensity by modern means). Put 'em together and you've got RGB - the most common method of defining and rendering colour in computer graphics, and the topic I'll be working on for the next 3 years. Colour is amazing. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Mooh Date: 15 Nov 00 - 09:46 AM The colours of nature I like best, greens, browns, blues, even black. Autumn trees. The water of Georgian Bay turns from black to brilliant blue depending on the weather. And burgundy-ish purple-ish sorts of things... Peace. Mooh. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 15 Nov 00 - 10:29 AM What a beautiful choice for a middle-name! Ha ha, a Middle-Earth middle name! Arwen Undomiel, also known as Evenstar, was the daughter of Elrond Half-Elven (son of Earendil the Mariner) and Celebrian (daughter of Galadriel of Lothlorien). She lived most of her life in Rivendell with her two brothers Elohir and Elladan, until she met Aragorn, then known by the name Estel (Hope) so his destiny and lineage would be unknown to the enemy. They fell in love....sigh! Here is some more about Arwen. --Matt (Tolkien scholar) |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Kim C Date: 15 Nov 00 - 10:43 AM Red. Absolutely Red is my favorite color and has been for years. I have come to realize that I really am full of fire and passion, so red suits me. I also like green very much too. My eyes are green (and greener with the help of contact lenses! you can sorta see it in my picture) Red and green are opposites on the color wheel so I don't know what that says about me exactly. I am also very fond of sapphire blue, as sapphire is my birthstone. I am learning to like purples (they look good with red and green!) but I have not been able to like yellow. It is not a color that I feel looks good on me unless it's an accent for other colors. I sometimes like to look at yellow - but not on me. :) |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: hesperis Date: 15 Nov 00 - 10:17 PM Purple! Of course :) I love every colour the way Matt loves every song. There are a couple of puke colours that make me want to do that yucky action, but everything else has it's place in my heart. Earth tones, burnt ochre, sienna, even yellow ochre, though that gets close to puke sometimes. Dark terra cotta, burgundy, claret red... forest green, clear leaf green, artemisia 'silver frost' green... Indigo is a glowing colour, midway between ultramarine and deep violet. The colour of a sky just past sunset, as seen against an off-white windowsill glowing warm light against cool darkness. That's indigo. Actually, my favorite colour is a slightly iridescent deep purple. |
|
Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Tig Date: 16 Nov 00 - 12:11 PM I assure you that it is not for the want of offering our offspring Tolkien to read that she does not know the origins of her middle name. I think it's a case of 'books suggested by parents are NOT to be read'!!! I've enjoyed reading this thread. The colour choices tell me a lot about fellow Mudcats. I just hope Firecat doesn't decide she wants to paint her bedroom ALL the colours at once. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Lonesome Gillette Date: 16 Nov 00 - 01:26 PM I remember a friend of mine painted his whole apartment black. It was the rock and roll, hipster hangout. I lived at the other side of the continent at the time so I only got the pleasure of the place once but I'll never forget it. That place was depressing, cramped, dark... My favorite is deep yellow orange, it's a very particular shade. I like all yellow but this one is like a manilla (spelling?) envelope but richer, deeper. When I see it I am instantly attracted to it. There is a crayola crayon this color, I'd always use up that crayon first. Eric |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: mousethief Date: 16 Nov 00 - 01:49 PM As St. Clive says, the best way to get kids to read the good books is to have a bunch of them within easy reach, then specifically forbid them to read them. Matt, have you read the page about the identity of Tom Bombadil? Fascinating. I'll try to dig up the URL if you don't have it already. Experiments show that people get agitated around too much red, and are soothed by greens and blues.

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Firecat Date: 04 Aug 01 - 12:17 PM I know that this thread is really old, but I've found another colour that I love! Labradorite, also known as magician stone, has some gorgeous colours in it! |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: SharonA Date: 04 Aug 01 - 01:49 PM Just about every color! ...okay, I'm partial to blues, teals, turquoises, indigos, burgundies (the whole blue-purple range that sneaks into blue-greens and purple-reds) There used to be a children's TV show in the Philadelphia PA area called "Captain Noah and His Magical Ark". Here's his theme song (I don't know if the minister-actor who played Capt. Noah wrote it): Red and yellow and pink and green Purple and orange and blue I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too. Listen with your eyes, listen with your eyes And sing everything you see. I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow Sing along with me. Red and yellow and pink and green Purple and orange and blue I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too. |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: katlaughing Date: 05 Aug 01 - 04:08 PM I gues so, Mr. Red. I've been doing that ever since I can remember, in fact one of my favourite pastimes when I was a child was describing the "scenes in colour" which I "saw" when listening to certain music. Interesting websiteHERE. His homepage and the lullaby pages are interesting, too. So, what do you "see" when you hear Lavender blue?**BG** |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: Firecat Date: 09 Aug 01 - 11:16 AM I like ice blue too, Kim. It's about the palest colour I like, cos I usually go for dark colours, especially in my clothes. I always wear dark colours (I'm currently wearing a dark red tracksuit and my Mudcat Tshirt!), and I'm only just going back to being normal after a Gothic phase! |

Subject: RE: Warning: Boring Thread Alert!! From: GUEST,SharonA Date: 10 Aug 01 - 02:02 PM Sorry not to respond sooner to your question, GUEST, but I've been on vacation. I've heard of Bertie the Bunyip (or was it Bernie?) from my older brothers, but I'm of the "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" era... also "Crusader Rabbit and Rags". Also, thanks for posting the songwriter of "I Can Sing a Rainbow"! I just hope the lyrics I posted are correct; I was typing from memory. LR Mole, I'm guessing you enjoy Winslow Homer's sea scenes, with his brown/green/greys and shale blues? Wonderful stuff... and, as with all paintings, the reproductions in books do NOT do justice to the colors. |
