Believe it or not this is an important question that I am asking for good reason. 

 

What is your favourite and least favourite colours?

Post by: Scarlet Passion on June 03, 2007, 11:35:16 pm

Love Red.

Hate Pink.

 

When do we find out what you want to know for? If we do that is.

Well first I need all your answers, then I have a second colour question before I tell you my reason.

OK, as long as you accept responsibility for the fact that the suspense and my curiosity combined are sure to kill me off.

I have to be awkward and say it depends what the colours are for.  I like wearing purple and pink but wouldn't choose those colours for painting walls for instance.

Yes GC you have to be awkward.

bounty what colour is vermillion?

A very deep, orangey red.  But it's not just 'red'  Look at this Vermillion Flycatcher from south Eastern Arizona and you'll see what I mean.

So part two of the question?

Title: Colours
Post by: loulou on June 05, 2007, 06:21:40 pm

Please put the following colours in order of what you feel is the most visually attractive .

Red, green, orange, blue, yellow, gold, brown, black, grey,purple.

 

And if you can please tell me which of the two colours listed go best together.

Title: Colours
Post by: on June 05, 2007, 07:56:12 pm

Red, orange, yellow, gold, blue, green, purple, brown, grey and (black).

 

Black is not a colour it is the absence of colour.  All matter absorbs electro-magnetic radiation at different wavelengths, and the wavelengths  of visible light which are not absorbed are reflected back.  As most of the spectrum is part of visible light our brains interpret this as colour.  Some things like a black hole absorb all the visible light i.e don't reflect anything back and therefore have no colour = black is not a colour.  QED.

Post by: on June 05, 2007, 07:57:46 pm

Sorry, the ones that go best together are red and yellow

Title: Colours
Post by: smurfboy on June 05, 2007, 08:19:45 pm

Red, purple, black, blue, green, gold, orange, brown, yellow, grey. Red and black go best.

Black is not a colour

You are absolutely right bounty black is not a colour. Black is THE colour.

 

Black, red, purple, brown, grey, blue, orange, yellow, gold, green.

 

The two colours that I think go best together are black and red.

 

I can't wait to see what this is all about.

Post by: oldspice on June 06, 2007, 08:00:35 am

The colours that go best together are purple and grey (although it depends what you're doing with them).

Oooooooh look at that.......

When I copied and pasted those colours from your list Loulou, (because I'm far too lazy to type them all out seperately LOL) it infected my whole post and made it all pink.

Sorry for pink pinching.

 

Oh look smurfboy...we like the same two colours best. That's nice.

I see where this is going - Lou is planning her entry for the logo competition! Am I right?

Title: Colours
Post by: goldencup on June 09, 2007, 01:59:20 pm

Or is it her design for the 2012 Olympics?

Title: Colours
Post by: loulou on June 09, 2007, 02:46:13 pm

    Nah you are both wrong. My logo design is half done.  It's a a block of choc with chocolate review etched through it.  As for the Olympics design I would have just done this:

Back to colours.  The question is on a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you like orange?

 

1 being not  a lot and 10 being a lot.

Title: Colours
Post by: Scarlet Passion on June 17, 2007, 03:28:45 am

Erm that is difficult. It depends what for.

 

Generally as long as I don't have to wear it, it would be around a 6.

Title: Colours
Post by: on June 17, 2007, 07:43:41 am

Hmmmm orange?  Let me see.  I'd say about 7

Title: Colours
Post by: oldspice on June 17, 2007, 10:28:35 am

6

Title: Colours
Post by: chocadmin on June 19, 2007, 09:13:11 am

Depends on what, but for me probably a 4 or 5.
Is there a prize if someone says 10?

Title: Colours
Post by: loulou on June 19, 2007, 11:05:14 am

I really want everyone to say 10 but it isn't going to happen. I will reveal the reasons for all my colour questions. My website is orange and I read that orange is cheap looking so I considered changing it to gold and navy blue as this is supposed to be a good colour combination for websites .

Title: Colours
Post by: smurfboy on June 19, 2007, 12:13:31 pm

I avoid orange websites, but that's because I used to write one and I have bad memories!

Lou, what kind of website do you have?

Title: Colours
Post by: wjp666 on June 19, 2007, 06:09:42 pm

i'd rank orange at a steady 9.

Post by: chocadmin on June 19, 2007, 11:24:35 pm

I visit dwergs blog (dwergs.com) now and again and his colour scheme is orange and green (oompa loompa from first chocolate factory film). Nothing wrong with that at all.
