Colors: Search and Destroy

Search: ORANGE. The dying light of sunsets, mmm.

Destroy: There's probably no colors I really *hate,* except maybe cool neutral pastels and maybe teal. According to Carole Jackson, author of Color Me Beautiful, not having strong color likes or dislikes means I'm a fickle bastard.

Your turn.

It's not as simple as "I always hate/love this color"

I wouldn't choose a car in the same pale yellow color the tiles in our bathroom have, and I wouldn't wear a shirt in the same metallic beige that my friend spray painted his old timer car in.

(but I really like that yellow in that bathroom and that metallic beige on that car)

One of my favourite songs EVER;

I am a nightmare walking - psychopath talking
King of my jungle - just a gangster stalking
Living life like a firecracker - quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack - the colors I choose
Red or blue cause a blood - it just don’t matter
Sucker die for your life with my shotgun scatters
We gangs of c.a. will never die....just multiply

Colors!

You don’t know me, fool - you disown me
I don’t need your assistance, social persistance
Any problem I got I just put my fist in
My life is violent, but violent is life
Peace is a dream, reality is a knife
My colors my honour my colors my all
With my colors upon me one soldier stands tall
Tell me what have you left me, what have I got
Last night in cold blood my boy --- got shot
My home got jacked, my mother’s on crack
My sister can’t work cause her arms show trax

Madness insanity - live in profanity
Then some punk claimin they understandin me
Give me a break, what world do you live in
Death is my sect, guess my religion

Colors!

Usually that's the case, but some people have very strong (and maybe irrational) color preferences much the way they have really strong (and maybe irrational) food preferences -- and I want to know about them.

I'm not too keen on yellow. It is weak. I think the other primary colours bully it.

Chocolate brown is good. Really it's just the chocolate part, I think.

My favourite combination was instilled in me after reading that the easiest colours to read on a chalkboard (this would be mid-'70s) were light on dark green. I've used it for screen designs ever since, and still really like it.

When I was designing my Japanese Arts website I tried to think of a good colour scheme. The Japanese flag seemed too bold to work (carrying off red and white is hard, I think), and likely to overpower the artwork shown. I thought of the sun anyway and decided to go with a palette covering gold, orange, brown, sandy colours, a sunset feel. I think it looks nice and suits the heavy use of gold in a lot of Japanese painting and lacquerwork, for instance.

Really?

I always thought it was:

"Vendettas of death - that's the colors I choose".

The best thing about colours is how in the right circumstance they are all completely beautiful and necessary. So therefore my answer is I love them all and couldn't bear to lose a single one.

Kate is right. I still choose cerise cos I like the word. and the colour.

there is nothing that the many shades of blue can't do. I love you, blue.

I don't much like aqua. Except on turquoises or tropical beaches. I am very fond of grey, brown, blue and green. Also developing a fondness for scarlet and orange. Especially for flowers, which I used to hate (those colours on obv not flowers in general). This might have to do with trying to be less depressed.

if there were no blue, my life would be radically different

How very cryptic.

How about colour psychology?

What, like painting your analysis couch green and then trying to find out whether it has blue or yellow complexes?

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 10 April 2006 08:27 (twenty years ago)

No, no. Like if children use lots of yellows, they'll turn into starkraving mad psychos.
