p.s. i am slightly concerned about how many "pops of color" i have heard about lately and just wanted to maybe promote other perfectly good color delivery method metaphors already out there

Who doesn't dream in color?

It's an old question, I was just repeating it. I think the answer is that we dream in ideas, and if you can't remember whether your dream had color in it, that means the color was irrelevant.

I don't need a lot of colors, just one crushingly intense one will do.

I prefer as much color as is required.

poor man doing all the washing up!

― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:24 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, you, being all pragmatic but open-minded!

For example, I had to swallow my pride a bit yesterday when a client insisted that the entire navigation bar at the top of every page be bright red. I argued that this is distracting, as that much red dominates every other element. You can see it from space. He was hearing none of it. That's what I mean by "more color than is required."

― tits akimbo (kenan), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:25 (seventeen years ago)

thats nonsense nav bars should always be red everyone knows that

― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:27 (seventeen years ago)

Red with pink text.

― i'm shy (Abbott), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:30 (seventeen years ago)

poor man doing all the washing up!

Haha, he was super pissed (look at his face). He forgot there was a wedding that weekend. I didn't mind bcz he kept hitting on me when I was cleaning/weeding the backyard. Uh wtf you know I'm getting married tomorrow, right? (I thought.)

― i'm shy (Abbott), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:31 (seventeen years ago)

Poor guy, he was trying to impress you with his domestication too!

― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:36 (seventeen years ago)

I gave him a custom etched flask for helping a few weeks later. It read: 'I washed the dishes.'

― i'm shy (Abbott), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:38 (seventeen years ago)

Too kind.

― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:40 (seventeen years ago)

Sarcasm?

not sarcastic, was a nice gesture which i'm sure made him smile.

― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 18:45 (seventeen years ago)

"i washed the dishes (and macked on the bride)."

― tits akimbo (kenan), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 19:27 (seventeen years ago)

that flask is a good gift

― i like to fart and i am crazy (gbx), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 19:28 (seventeen years ago)

i like lots of colors but i am known to dress in monochrome

i like the idea of a burst of color

― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 19:52 (seventeen years ago)

like it is a juicy berry, or a balloon

― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 19:52 (seventeen years ago)

― tits akimbo (kenan), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 19:54 (seventeen years ago)

but it's different than the balloon which offers a pop of color

violence is implied; not so much as a riot of color but the threat is there

― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 1 April 2009 20:07 (seventeen years ago)

I have a hard time forcing myself to make some negative space.

If you can take care of a white couch, and not many can, you can take care of that one.

― tits akimbo (kenan), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 22:35 (seventeen years ago)

Me & some friends once pushed a couch named Mr. Marshmallow down some stairs.

― i'm shy (Abbott), Wednesday, 1 April 2009 22:43 (seventeen years ago)

Love most of those blankets/quilts, but that couch hurts my eyes.

The best sofa I ever had was an alley score. Huge and heavy, with a fold-out bed, colored an offensive shade forest green naugahyde. The bed turned out to be comfy, but it took four dudes to get it home.

Maybe that is why the consensus on dazzle ships being rad?
