...Good questions! And thanks for the compliments ☺<br /><br />I tend to think colours lean towards nature names. The seven colours of the rainbow come from light, and many other colours we have today exist because people were either creating dyes with natural substances, or were trying to recreate something they had seen in nature. And I find it so hard to think of the colour blue without picturing the ocean or the sky! So colours, yes.<br /><br />Words like Peace and Serenity, not so much. Certainly some people do associate these with nature, but they can also be found in other ways and sources. So I tend to think of them as word names. Or maybe call them nature adjacent? ☺<br /><br />It's funny that you mention the Pantone colour of the year, (Radiant) Orchid. I did last years colour - Emerald - so this one is definitely coming up this month!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255413992164804017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665212445153507342.post-47678190769814474082014-02-05T13:43:59.987+11:002014-02-05T13:43:59.987+11:00This is a smartly written piece!
Would you put co...This is a smartly written piece!<br /><br />Would you put colors in this category? I know some do double-duty as you mentioned above (like Orchid--Pantone's color of the year and an exotic flower-- or Burgundy--a place and wine-- or Coral--a sea creature), but what about Brown (Bruin or Bruno) or Aquamarine (Cyan or Teal)?<br /><br />Would Peace or Serenity go in this category, too (since some find such things in nature)? Majesty, Endeavor, Triumph? Ooh, or Harmony and Patience?<br /><br />So interested on your thoughts! Love your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
