I am really getting to like you Drain Bead. Clear is one of my three favorite colors, along with Green and Brown. Clear is awesome because it takes on the properties of all the colors around it yet somehow has a distinct property all to itself. It is very strange and compelling all at the same time. HUGS!

Any kind of deep Blue or Purple. NO light purples. Yuck! And not just dark blues, because some dark blues are ugly. Black is awesome too. * * * **White Wolf** “Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate.” ---

The indescribable indigo-blue that some of the lights were at Dead Shows. On occasion, your section of the crowd would be bathed in this color, and it was… magic. Yippeee! It is like the color of the corona of a mercury vapor light.'Smeggy * * * The déjà just keeps on vu-ing. ---

My puke is usually an orangish with reddish chunks in it… Probably because I eat so much pizza. Lesse… on a car, Ford Sapphire Blue, or Sapphire Blue with Silver ground effects. Barring that, Black, Jet Black, or Metallic Black. Clothes? I dunno. Probably grey (or is it gray?) or light to medium blue. Not dark blue, or navy blue, that’s not cool. On a different note: Medium-purple on a dark black is attractive, depending on how it’s done. Blue on yellow is good for signs, as is black on yellow. Anyone who does anything neon pink on neon green should die a slow death. –Tim * * * We are the children of the Eighties.

Cobalt blue. My favorite color in paint is probably Brilliant Blue (great for reflected shadows) or Van Dyke Red (great brown, a lot of depth and lightened with enough white it makes awesome clouds). Damn, I love all the names of paint colors; I can even recogize them in any work of art. Phthalo blue, Hooker’s Dark Green, Dioxaine Purple, French Ultramarine, Cadmium Red, Naples Yellow, Naphathol Crimson, Cadmiun Yellow Medium, Prism Violet, Viridian, Raw Umber… There should be a classification for people who have “perfect color pitch” like people who have “perfect pitch” in music. ---
