Hmmm - ok, how do you know that? Maybe what I need is a book about colors or
some art reference text or something. I tried to do some water colors for a
while and learned some colors from that, but not that purple is redder than
violet.
Maybe I need to buy the big box of crayolas and read the labels! : )
Any artists on this list willing to give us a mini-course on relative colors
and color names? I love some of these - 'woodpecker green' conjures up all
kinds of images, the main one being a brownish green crayon with a red eraser
top.
