and this is why we don't play with colour... by northy

and this is why we don't play with colour...

in theory, top left is pink, top right is violet, bottom left is purple and bottom right is indigo... personally i see purple on the bottom right and pink in the bottom left and top right quadrants... the thing they call "pink" looks pretty insipid to me...

admittedly it got confusing after i took the photo because... white balance... but i've got it back to looking more or less like what it looked like in photoshop when i created the thing in the first place...

this is basically etsooi from start to finish... i created a 2x2 grid in photoshop, moved it to the iPad, took a picture of it (with a chess piece that i subsequently edited out)... processed in LR, and then skewed in PS because i couldn't get the lines straight in LR...

anyhoo... this started because i was trying to do a rainbow backdrop (big mistake i will not make again) and PS gave me pink for "violet" and purple for "indigo"... and... well... one thing lead to another... and here we are...

now where's that bottle of wine?
Oh my that sounds complicated!
Stick to b&w! lol

Colours are not always easy to read.

How weird. No wonder you prefer black and white!

ooops! you were looking for the wine? i thought you didn't want it, i finished it for you. 🤣 aces on this lovely thing you call colour.

that is strange. i see what you see as well

I see one purple and 3 pinks

I’d call the top left baby pink, top right just pink, bottom left would be a kind of fuschia and bottom right is proper purple - but I find the blue-end of purple is the hardest colour for digital cameras to capture accurately.

Do we have to name everything? If we like it and evoke emotions, that's enough.

@haskar so true! but as i noted, this started with me trying to find hex codes for the rainbow colours... 🙃 🌈
