In the Navy

As I continue on looking for colour and colour schemes in my community, I am always looking for something a little out of the ordinary when it comes to colour.  This week I was looking for navy, and really it’s hard to find navy out of the ordinary- it’s just so classic! According to Wikipedia, Navy […]

Clear as a Blue Sky

  Sky Blue… ahh it just so relaxing to look at a clear blue sky. The colour sky blue according to Wikipedia, is the colour of the sky at noon. Most people think of sky blue as a lighter blue, but it really is quite a medium blue and a truer blue slightly on the […]

Totally Turquoise

I’ve been really enjoying writing about colour in my community and playing “Where’s Waldo”  in hunting for colour.  Recently I was on the search for turquoise, a little tricky to find it naturally in Canadian west coast climates but lots of places to find it in the retail market. It’s such an eye catching colour and generally it’s considered about 70% blue […]

In the Limelight

For any one following my articles in my community paper, The Saanich News, I have been selecting colour families and then writing a short article on the chosen colour in that family.  Green was the first family I have been writing on and a few weeks ago, lime was the chosen green.  Here’s what was […]
