Hi I love colors and love to collect colors
the names of colors and their origins.
tubes of paints, pencils, pens etc
the same garment in different colors etc
having a color of the day and seeing it everywhere, noting an example's variety
of that color and how I would mix various other colors to get it.
making color charts and painting pictures using the charts as reference
swatches of colored fabric I sometimes sew them together.
Does anyone else enjoy colors as well?
What is your favourite colour origin story?
I'm going to have to go with Prussian blue, I love it's serious personality and business-like attitude in working with other colors.
I like the idea of synthetic colors overall.
Prussian blue was used in the Edo period for woodblock prints. one of thte first to be synthesized.
A whole new alchemy of man-induced colors followed!
