A little more colors fun, inspired by debm55.... your favorite 5 to 15 colors... [View all]

You might say "15?! That's a lot!"! But think, when looking at a computer screen- they say there are X Millions of colors the monitor can reproduce!:
😄👍

As an artist, and designer I consider myself a colorist; though a great B,&W, or B,G&W drawing, or design can thrill me just as much!

So herd are my favorite colors, no real order. Sort of a pantheon of favorites.

•Printer's Magenta
(the definition of magenta seems to vary, and probably may be the only color needing an explanation to describe what I mean. Lol.
To create more or less all the printed colors with what's called 4 color printing (I took a high level commercial printing class in Art College) they use 4 inks; Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. If you take a magnifying glass and look at a color page you'll see tiny dots that usually over lap; often 2 colors or more colors. That's the magenta I'm referring to. 👍 🙂
•Printers Cyan
It's vibrant blue-green, it could be considered a kind of turquoise.
•Yellow-Orange
•Vermillion
•Red-purple

•Apple Green
•Vibrant Royal Blue (there was a fabulous color pencil this color. When they were to discontinue it 😭 I ran out, and bought at least one pack (? a dozen pencils)!
•Vibrant Violet - this also was a color pencil from the same company, and discontinued.
•Orcher (🤔 maybe what I've seen called "Golden Orcher".
•Vibrant Middle Pink - it's a lightened magenta (not coral pink)

•Teal
•Very Pale Teal
•Very Pale Apple Green
•Peach
•Olive

Please join the fun! 🙂 🎨🎨🎨🎨👍
