Betty, Lulu and Marie

I thought I would do a Look of the Day post. I haven’t really done in ages, and with some really nice group gifts out in the last few weeks/days, it was an opportune time to do a LotD.

50/52 – Mulberry

Yikes!! We’re in week 50 of Luna’s Colour Challenge, which means we have just 2 weeks left!  Luna has proposed that we do a Favourite 15 post featuring our favourite 15 colours… That might be a challenge in itself for me, as I have missed some weeks.  Back to this week’s colour….

The first recorded use of mulberry as a color name in English was in 1776. The colour takes its name from the fruit of the Mulberry bush.

47 / 52 – Khaki

We are now on the home straight of the 52 Weeks of Colour Challange — the end is in sight.

Week 47 – Khaki

The name of the color khaki coined in British India comes from the Hindustani language (itself a borrowed form of the Persian word khak meaning dust), meaning “dusty, dust covered or earth colored.” It has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms, including camouflage. Most notably, khaki was used by the British Army in India beginning in 1848.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge

Due to my short absence, I am now kind of playing catch-up on Luna’s 52 Weeks of Colour Challenge.  So here’s part one…

Week 41 - Jazzberry

If you had told me that there was a colour called Jazzberry, I would not have belived you. So I googled it, and according to Wikipedia, it does exact. In fact it is a shade of red-violet. To me it’s a dark raspberry colour.

Week 42 – Chartreuse

Chartreuse is a color halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse, introduced in 1764. The term chartreuse was first used to refer to “a pale apple-green” in 1884.

Week 43 – Liver

Liver is a term used to describe certain types of dark brown color in dogs and horses. In dogs, it is a dark brown shade. In horses, “liver chestnut” is a term used to describe a chocolate-colored chestnut horse. A liver chestnut is the same genetically as a regular chestnut, but the shade is a dark brown rather than the reddish or rust color more typical of chestnut.

52 Weeks of Colour Catch Up Part 3

Week 35 – Electric Blue

Electric blue is a color close to cyan that is a representation of the color of lightning, an electric spark, and argon signs; it is named after the ionized air glow produced during electrical discharges.  The colour electric blue was in vogue in the 1890s.  The first recorded use of electric blue as a color name in English was in 1884.

52 Weeks of Colour Catch-up Part 1

I had the photo for week 25′s colour Periwinkle all done and set up, but then wham! bang! whallop! RL kicked me in the backside… Facing problems at work, I came depressed and that manifested itself in a major case of SL burn out. Not good for me at the time but I went with the flow, and now having dipped my toe in the water during last week (mainly to clear notices and capped IMs), yesterday & today I have been back in world for best part of each day.

So here is Part 1 of my catch-up session of Luna Jubilee’s 52 weeks of colour challenge…

week 25 – Periwinkle

24/52 – Eggplant

Last week it was Aparagus. This week it’s another vegetable… Yeah, it’s the turn of Eggplant (or Aubergine in UK and Europe). Different varieties of eggplant may range from indigo to white (The term eggplant originated as a description of white colored eggplants because they look like eggs). Chinese eggplant are a dark violet color. Thai eggplant are small, round, and colored forest green.
