sienna? rose? lilac? cyan?

Can you tell me the differences between navy, royal, electric, country, baby and sky blue?

Sadly, yes I can, you missed ‘powder’ BTW. And Burnt Orange, Magenta etc…

That’s mainly because I spent years working of Fashion catalogues, not because I am a homosexual, which I am not, obviously, OK, just in case you weren’t sure.

Magenta and cyan are primary colors used in printing and art.  I wouldn’t lump them in with the others, or with terracotta, or Fuchsia

It’s process colours actually or additive colour, as opposed to RGB which is subtractive colour, the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (so called because it is the first colour down on paper in process printing, so it becomes the ‘key’ to register to, it’s actually just Black), process is otherwise known as ‘full colour’, ie the spectrum to produce colour photographic images rely on the spectrum those 4 colours supply. There are superior gamuts, for example Hexachrome, which uses CMYK + orange and green, and that doubles the printable colour spectrum through printing 2 extra colours.
But, I would say Cyan and Magenta stand well in the world of fashion, although they are more likely to be called Fuschia or shocking blue.

I’ll get my coat....

The important thing here is that I get to go to Vikings games with the girl in green.

She’s married.  But her husband is the head strength coach for the Vikings.  Obviously she lives out here now but she doesn’t know anyone.  Her husband gets tickets but he works during the games so she has no one to go with.  She and I plan on going to a few games...and I hope her HUGE husband doesn’t kill me.

Shit LD, going anywhere with the wife of a ‘strength coach’ sounds a bad move, although if he’s muscle bound, he’s probably a slow runner. And she has no-one to go with? Jesus, you’d think there would be a queue a mile long.

Ignore me, I am just exceptionally jealous.

I thought the same thing, there would have to be a queue.  But apparently not.  Her husband works a ton, 7 days a week usually, like 12 hour days.  She doesn’t have a job so she shops.  She must be bored.  Anyway, I figure hanging out with her is the least I could do :)

I figure I will at least try to show her around town a little, maybe introduce her to some people I know...not that I know that many people around here anymore.  I haven’t met her husband but my friend has and he says he’s a nice guy so I don’t think he’ll beat me up.

Then once established over there you can sell it over here as the newest ‘new Simon Cowell’.  “Simon may tell you you suck, Ramsey may scream and yell at you, but Englander will kick your ass!”.  The scary thing is, I think the concept does have real potential.

Over anything, generally. It doesn’t have to be specific.

Actually, pre-marriage days (if I can remember back that far) the fact I was into art, design and architecture did hold a fair bit of sway with ladies of a certain disposition. If you can sit and discuss the work of Mattise with a art student, it’s a dead cert, like catnip. It’s one thing Neanderthals often dismiss, being less macho is often a good thing, women don’t like men who swear, burp and fart all the time, obviously some women do, but in my experience they aren’t worth bothering with.
But obviously growing up in an inner city being able to handle yourself is useful as well, if the Neanderthals get restless, it helps if you can bop them one, they don’t expect it from the artistic type. ;-)

Actually, if you look back on the last page you’ll see that fairly soon after the cheerleaders some of the guys got into a discussion about the precise color of the “hottest” one’s shirt (Green? Teal? Emerald?) Since then, the conversation has centered around recognition of obscure colors.

It should be noted that this turn of events was started by Soul....

hmmmm…
