The drab shades look so sad . . .

I know, it's almost like they know they're an afterthought! (Teal hasn't caught onto that yet...)

Is this your home stash or a work-related stash? -H...

[42itous.livejournal.com]

This is at work.

ever stand looking at the bins trying to figure out if you're holding teal or blue...or pink or purple?

[weegoddess.livejournal.com]

That was sort of my thought: looks like some of the teals should be in the blues...

But I admit that it's nice to have a reason to get out our 'sewing' icons...

I usually make split-second decisions, with the result that a single color might be findable in two or even three different bins.

I can't believe I don't have a sewing icon! Well, I have a quilting icon, but it might only look like a quilt to me.

Did you take the XKCD color survey? I got frustrated pretty early on, but you probably have actual names for all those colors.

Thanks for pointing me at that -- I hadn't seen it. I named about 120 colors before I got bored. I felt like I was seeing some of them over and over, like "plastic castle purple" and "Florida beachfront green." I hope I didn't skew his statistics with names like "obnoxious light blue" -- I really tried, and gave nice reasonable names for the colors that I didn't mind looking at.

Well, I named one of his greens "you have got to be kidding", so you can't be too bad.
