Lovely Peeps! Today I learned there are very specific colours traditionally used in Japanese art of all kinds (painting, textiles, etc.) - *and* there is a Wikipedia page that shows them all!

I love some of the names : Ibis wing, black kite, glazed persimmon, chestnut leather, weathered bamboo, simmered seaweed, 'the brown of a distant river', 'Contemplation in a tea garden' (!!) and more. 🥰

Field Kallop cultivates a deeply contemplative practice in which she produces bold, chromatic works that read like mystical color charts.

🧪🌈 Emily Calandrelli demonstrates #chemistry using butterfly pea flower tea as a natural pH indicator. The blue tea turns pink when you add acids like lemon juice, or shifts toward green with bases like baking soda.

Which of these icons do you most associate with color? As in would you know that one of these as a button would manage/change/edit colors.

I’m going to thread this with a poll because you can’t combine polls/images in Mastodon posts.

Thank you in advance. 🙌🏻

Two icons, each with a letter label beneath it. The first represents a color swatch book that is open. The second is three circles representing a triadic color scheme.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🌌✨ Astrophotographer Ian Lauer demonstrates why exposure time matters by photographing the #Andromeda Galaxy for 10 seconds, 10 minutes, and 10 hours. The longest exposure reveals dust lanes, companion #galaxies, and details invisible to shorter captures.

I feel like we could all use a color wheel right about now. I painted this with watercolor, black ink, and colored pencils on 12” square cotton paper.
