#hexadecimal codes

AvM fans that go by the name Mango Tango for King Orange, I have some bad news for you:

This magnificent Stick is not Mango Tango. He's actually Tenne (Tawny).

It's also known by the names Curry Powder, Sedona, Rusty Orange, and Coin Rust in other places. What's more, he is also a different color of orange through all appearances in-show (yes, tested it out on Hardcore Manhunt, so latest episode at the time of this writing included) when the eyedropper tool is used on him, most consistently resulting in #D66A00, Orange Danger, aka Bamboo Orange.

And don't get me started with his Wiki and Thumbnail renders. :< Sorry gang, King Arthur doesn't get a cool color name. He himself is still really cool, though!

Color Monologue

Because color is one of my obsessions, I figured I’d share this. It’s nice to have names for the colors we don’t often have words to describe.

Below are some charts for examples, followed by a personal monologue.

List of Colors: 550 Color Names and Hex Codes

(If you can distinguish between these shades of black, let me know…. I can’t! Lol)

Finding My Favorite Color

Spoiler alert: It’s #E0EE00

Their “summary” color charts don’t include my favorite color, so I went into their more in-depth lists and found Bitter Lemon, which I think is about right. Actually, this “traditional” Chartreuse is likely closer:

My Favorite Color is an Experience

When people ask me what my favorite color is, I may come off as ridiculous when I respond “the color of new spring leaves when sunlight shines through them,” but it’s really the truth.

I care a lot about that exact sensation. It’s very captivating to me. I don’t even have to get on a plane to witness it. I can just go down the street or to a local park.

The experience of standing under a tree and gazing up through its branches is enchanting, and this array of color tones glows around me and inside of me. The below image kind of communicates this idea.

I particularly like the yellower green, right where the sun hits the leaves. Source

The term “chartreuse” is still inexact because the examples provided are usually not yellow enough.

This next pic is just for fun:

Using a Color Picker to Find My Favorite Color

Here are some more examples of my favorite color.

Color Picker Source I’m aware these are multiple shades, but oh well. I’m searching.

Sometimes I feel like I get to my favorite color fastest if I go to yellow first, then darken it a little.

Funny how this color now looks worse as I place it against the dark background of Tumblr. In fact, it looks like boogers and I don’t like it as much at all.

The hex code “E0EE00” is really satisfying. Old Macdonald had a farm, E-0, E-E, 0-0…..

I think I’ll settle there for now.

Clothing With (Almost) My Favorite Color

It’s very, very difficult and rare to find clothing in my favorite color.

Is Chartreuse Green or Yellow?

(and who cares?)

Sometimes I wear a sweater from F21 that is pretty close to my favorite color, and people compliment me on my “yellow sweater,” at which I am always amused. To me, the sweater is green. So I have fun randomly asking people if they think the sweater is yellow or green. I just like to see which one they say. There are no wrong answers. I, too, remain uncertain as to which general category my favorite color inhabits. Relatedly, “Chartreuse” falls under “Green,” while “Chartreuse (traditional)” falls under “Yellow” on the first website I linked, List of Colors: 550 Color Names and Hex Codes. (Their version of “Chartreuse” I do not like at all. It is way too blue-green and not yellow at all.) Well, It’s a good thing that the determination of whether this shade is “yellow” or “green" is not particularly important one way or the other, because if people cared about this, I do think they’d never come to a consensus.

Clothing Website Color Pickers

I do, however, wish clothing websites would recognize “chartreuse” in a keyword search or have a more intelligent color picker when filtering results. It would not be too hard to code a tool that analyzes each clothing image and provides 10-20 color names depending on the hex codes it picks up. One could build in a “margin of error” where hex codes that are within a few degrees of variation are also included under those names. So the user could actually use a color picker (or a longer selection of specific colors, at least) to filter by color, and all matching or near-matching clothes would be included in the results.

Thanks for coming to my color monologue!

I want to draw Neon Yellow (Gold's mother) for the first time! Nifty color choice Alan, but uh..

Why. Why so much conflict on what the hell Neon Yellow IS?! Why is there so much GREEN in the hunt for YELLOW?! XD Shout-out to that one down at the bottom having a ? in it, like even they're not sure themselves. "Neon Yellow? I think???" Update: Blending and working all these "Neon Yellow"s into one color I'm satisfied with:

This color's name is Zeus' Bolt, and that absolutely slaps harder than someone after a bad date. This is it. This is Neon Yellow's... Guinevere's.. color because Alan made it too vague and it works with my headcanons and world building since she is the ultimate blank slate dropped only in passing.

I will build her.
