Reflection – George Szirties ‘Colours’

List of names for colour in which I noted that a number were flowers or plants. I particularly liked Garrulous, Yearning, Insolence, Indignant and Abstinence although I have no idea what colours these would be.

As a bit of fun I came up with names for the colours on my 3D colour chart.

Working from left to right and top to bottom these are the names that I came up with.

  1. Tender
  2. Bruised
  3. Clay
  4. Stormy
  5. Rust
  6. Bleak
  7. Slippery
  8. Dowdy
  9. Fall
  10. Cautious
  11. Coffee
  12. Tepid
  13. Bridesmaid
  14. Cocteau
  15. Deep
  16. Wine
  17. Slate
  18. Dread
  19. Leveller
  20. Smile
  21. Raw
  22. Fresh
  23. Scum
  24. Devil

I challenged Marian to match the name to the colour, it wasn’t a great success.
