Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Colors And Why I Love Them


1. Watermelon Red - a simply scrumptious color, warm and cool at the same time
2. Evergreen - Christmas trees, piney woods, plaid blankets and parkas
3. Spring Green - warmth, new life, a blinding yellow-green that makes me stare
4. Periwinkle - reminds me of twilight, my favorite time of the day
5. Orange - the color of pumpkins and sunsets
6. Turquoise - the ocean in the sunlight in an exotic locale (i.e. not Galveston)
7. Teal blue/green - the sexy cousin of turquoise...deeper, darker, more mysterious
8. Cerulean blue - the color of the sky...on a good day
9. Tomato Red - a kitchen color: pizza, pasta, nectarines
10. Lemon Yellow - just yummy, makes me think of lemon merengue pie and lemon ice
11. Chocolate Brown - obviously, the color of chocolate; my staple, instead of black
12. Rosy Pink - the inside of seashells, the color of 'apple cheeks', a happy color
13. Chartreuse - an otherworldly color, found under the ocean or deep in the forest

...and once again, Blogger is not letting me post images...if I knew how to do colored type, I'd do that, but alas...

Congrats on being a finalist in Affaire de Couer!!! Yay!!

And what a great list of colors. My husband is one of those people who thinks green is green is green is green.

I have such a hard time trying to explain to him that olive green isn't yellow or brown. LOL.

I worked in a boutique one summer where we weren't allowed to call any of the colors by their real name. A sweater could be "seafoam" or "mint julip" or "forest moss" but it could never, ever be light green. You can't charge $175 for a light green sweater.

Thanks Colleen and Racy for the congrats!

Caryle, I LOVE a fresh box of crayons too!

Too funny, Trish!

I tried to do the Thursday 13 but failed. How do you get the picture of the cow at the beginning and include pics. I'm clearly more technically challenged than I thought.

Trish, that's hilarious!

My favorite color is green, in all its incarnations.
