1. I like that Snorkel Blue also the cantelope. the red is good

but not my best red.

[MissMillie]

2. I like all of them

but I don't look good in all of them.

Yellow always makes me look washed-out... which is sad because it's my favorite color.

[Richardo]

3. So....purples and browns?

:shrug:

Muriel Blandings: I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin's egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don't let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green. Now, the dining room. I'd like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong! Now, this is the paper we're going to use in the hall. It's flowered, but I don't want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There's some little dots in the background, and it's these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it. It's the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it's practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan. Oh, excuse me...
Mr. PeDelford: You got that Charlie?
Charlie, Painter: Red, green, blue, yellow, white.
Mr. PeDelford: Check.

4. Sheesh, I can only wear the Freesia and snorkel blue

and BTW, when did Freesia become yellow? I always thought it was pink.

[supernova]

5. Cool. Except Golden olive and Daquiri green

I can wear all those colors, since they have blue undertones. They won't make me look sick like the green and the olive will.

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Wasn't Freesia a planet in the Flash Gordon serials?

[FloridaJudy]

7. Many questions

Revive:
"Camel, leather, rust, walnut and pumpkin satisfy the need for cocooning proximity".
Reflect:
"Seductive frivolity and masculine allures are blended into a sensual cocktail".
Preserve:
"Vegetal and mineral shades modulate olive green, khaki and fango tones to icy blue nuances".
Construct:
"The cool objectivity of modern architecture offers the setting an urban atmosphere in grey and deep dark shades".

What the heck color is "fango"? Is that like a mango with fangs?
Who writes this stuff?

8. I read "Golden Olive" as "Olive Garden"

The Lounge has retrained my eyes.

[KitchenWitch]

9. ...

:spray:


I thought I was the only one who suffered with that. I literally have to think twice about how to spell the word 'huge' now!

10. Who decides these are the colors for Spring 2008???

I'm old enough that they look like the choices for the freakin' seventies!

Give me a break already...
