Find something pinkish and with hearts for Valentine’s Day. :slight_smile:

63

Just for you, Jasmine —

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

:smiley:

64

Interesting. Some of the colors render (on my Android using Tapatalk) but not according to any pattern I can discern. None of the fonts render on my phone, though.

The pink hearts worked out! :slight_smile:

65

Yes they did! I had to play with the size though, and I think this is better.

Pink hearts remind me of the jingle for the Lucky Charms breakfast cereal — “yellow moons, orange stars, pink hearts, green clovers”.

I’ll give it a try: { ☾ - ★ - :heart: - :four_leaf_clover: }

66

Goodness ----- I may need a cup of coffee before this entire test is over! :wink:

67

Yeah, I just use it to play with some things here.

68

Pretty colors and pretty pictures. Oh, my!

69

Bullitt, you must be older than me. In my earliest memories of the cereal, they also had blue diamonds. Purple horseshoes were added while I was a kid, and then later red balloons (after, I guess, they found a red dye that would actually saturate enough for red). They also listed them in rainbow order: Pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons, green clovers, blue diamonds[, purple horseshoes]. The multicolored marbits they have now are just wrong.

70

I figured as much but I didn’t want anyone to be able to accuse you of playing with ------------- nah; never mind. Too easy. :smiley:

71

That I don’t do here on the Dope. That’s a pleasure I keep all to myself! :smiley:

72

Brew a pot. Or three. This test ain’t never gonna end. :slight_smile:

73

This is one of my favorite threads ever.

74

GO GIANTS!!!

Do you like it even more now? :smiley:

75

I must be older than you, too, because I remember them without the blue diamonds. Then I read this thread, and I was like red balloons? Purple horseshoes? When did they add all of this crap?

I guess I’ll go back to humming the theme song to H.R. Puffnstuff. Get off my lawn!

My favorite color name is ‘arsenic’, ugly color though.
‘Irresistible’ is nice too.

79

Arsenic (the element) is actually usually more of a yellow or metallic gray color. Makes me wonder how the name got associated with that bluish color. Then again grape and coffee don’t match their assigned color values either, so it’s not alone on the list.

80

There are other color names that mapped to the same color already assigned to another name. I don’t remember them now but I remember that happening.
