Before any of the color-snobbist get their underhosen in a bunch about this chart and how out of whack it is, it is the official color chart of the MegaColossal UberCharity Thriftstore I work at ( at least the Michigan Stores. Someone hire up was either bored, deprived of a box of 64 crayola crayons when they were young or overmanaging and decided to overcomplicate the previous color chart, which I memorized in about 10 minutes, because it.made.sense. ) 23 colors. Break it down any which way.
I have to say, I find that a little intimidating. Confronted with a list like that, and depending on circumstances, I might try to find some way of organizing the information that would allow me to bypass trying to formulate and memorize a mnemonic at all.
Can you share with us how these colors are to be used? And when you say “Break it down any which way” does this imply that the order the colors are placed in is not relevant?
Sorry to not be more helpful in the first response. Maybe you could try “23 k of g in a f p d.”
ROY G. BIV; **Black **and **White **makes Gray, duh.
Oh wait, except instead of Violet, you’ve got to give **Purple **and **Pink **for Miss. Lavender.
As for Mrs. **Fushia ** and Mr. **Beige **the foodies, they’ll enjoy a dish of **Salmon **and Olives, with a nice **Burgundy **Wine, with **Peaches **and **Cream **for dessert.
Mr. **Brown **wonders, “What needs Water aka Aqua? Lilacs, and **Teal ****Coral **right?”
It’s not so bad, and most of it makes sense except for Mr. Beige. I had a hard time with him.
I’m going to assume that the second Burgundy is an error, because it doesn’t seem to fit with the “flow” of colors. That said, would it help to break it into color groups?
