Poor Lalitha - we've run away with her colors! Wondering if Chelydra, in his autodidactic strolling, has stumbled over a good source on the symbolic meaning of the 24 musical keys. I've encountered one or two and want to know the rest. Also any associated colors - I've not gone totally afield.

hey u people r diverted the whole topic, what r ur fav colors

chelydra

That's just what I was trying to figure out how to say, but couldn't come up with the right words. Thanks!

Lalitha, sorry about that, things got to interesting to be ignored here. Favorite colors? Hmm...I'm more in favor of color combinations. Blue-orange would be the perfect one...colors of summer, complementary colors, just love this. Well, orange is a very difficult color in my oppinion and not many people 'master' it, although it offers fascinating effects (especially in fruit, on TD ). I also love black, but well that's not a color...at least not ' officialy ', lol.
Chelydra, I meant to answer you sooner, just hadn't got the time. Maybe we should have a different topic for symbols/ spirituality/sense of art ...you can't just roll with ideas under our eyes and leave us 'hungry' for more.

Fav colours...
Translating from traditional pigments (mostly in oils) to digital doo-hickies as best I can...
What matters is like Shanley says the combination of colours, but it's also the particular variety of a colour. I could even say that white is my favourite colour, but that's only one very specific kind of white. The pearls (full moon) in 'Beads' is like 'Cremnitz' or 'flake' white in oils, very warm glow, great for flesh tones (of the Caucasoid type). The heart is more like titanium white (just plain old white white), and the diamond thingie is like zinc white, very cold, very icy-transparent. In oils, the good warm white is made from lead, heavy and poisonous. I hate the other whites, though.

I like off whites, they are lots of fun! Especially where they look plain white until you compare them with another off white.

Combinations of colours ... hmm. There's an old saying - "blue and green should never be seen" - I think that's rubbish. What could be more natural than sky, grass, water, trees all mingled up together.

In fabrics, I particularly like pale pink and brown together - or purple and blue. Any combination of autumn colours is pleasing to my eyes ... yellow, brown, orange, rust and all their variations.

For me the blue-green family, but not the brighter aquas. Probably because they are the most flattering for me to wear!
As a child I sorted the crayons into specific pairs - never varying. Astonished to later learn that the color wheel opposites were not the same as my "pairs." (pink/purple, red/blue, green/orange, brown/yellow and white/black.) Didn't have a large, fancy box of crayons in 1942.

Hi Norm, I think there's some inner logic in those pairings, or maybe that's just a statistical fluke (any arrangement of a small sampling will produce apparent patterns). But what really impresses me is "1942" — so I'm not the most ancient denizen of this cyber-cave?

chelydra

Oh, I see I never answered your query about musical notes... The answer is that I dunno anything about them, although I sometimes wish I did.

OMG, I could go on for hours...
Um, first off is purple, then turquoise (did I spell that right?), and finally, silver!!!!!
