Alphabet SHEEP - Colour without the Rainbow [Reveal: 11th May, 7pm]

ari101

The aim of SHEEP is to give the most popular answer, and my aim is to hopefully not eff up my first attempt to run a game!

I'm looking for all the colours of the alphabet, except for those in the rainbow!

So while there are normally no wrong answers in sheep, this time all the colours in the standard rainbow will score zero!
For those unsure that is: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.

Example: Blue, Baby Blue, and Chinese Blue would all score zero because they contain the word blue, however Cerulean, Cyan or even Chinese if you're feeling a bit out there (if that sheeps I'll be damned) would be perfectly acceptable.

Please PM me an alphabetical list of colours.
DO NOT post your list on thread.

Use the below as a template:

A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K
L
M
N
O
P
Q
R
S
T
U
V
W
X
Y
Z

This is SHEEP so Google and other forms of prehistoric research are allowed!

Thanks to the last Alphabet SHEEP organisers whose posts I shamelessly based my own upon

Aiming for a reveal second week of May assuming someone takes pity on my attempt to run a game and enters!

(Also to allow time for me to realise I've made this too complicated for the sheepulator (hopefully not) and to panic and then score it manually :pac:)

...nope, you'll be fine! You can mark answers as invalid if you need to. Hopefully no one will actually an invalid answer though, everyone can read simple instructions, right?! :pac:

Good call

If you need any sheepulator help just ask, it's very easy once you get used to it though

This is a conversation I had with my husband before we got married because he was of the opinion that all wedding dresses were white, regardless of any subtle or non-subtle variations.

Who is going to start the red vs. purple debate...? :pac:

Sad that we should probably save listing them all til the reveal

Thank god I realised this. Updated

Omackeral

Ah should’ve left them off and we could have all pointed and laughed!

ari101

Ah well, I've not checked through everyone's I just know I'd spotted one or two bold colours, and I really did just make the rule to avoid some obvious sheep

Spook_ie

Just to start a panic!
Isn't white just a recombination of the rainbow colors? a prism in reverse type of thing

I would say it's okay as long as your answer does not mention any of the rainbow colours, plus there are no wrong answers in Sheep... apart from the rainbow colours!

If Tuesday evening (11th) suits peoples for a Reveal I might stick this in the calendar for then...?

Sign ups remain open until Tuesday morning: to give me a few hours to mark the invalids *cough, make decisions on grouping all the weirdo spellings, and to panic that I can't find enough pics and gifs for the reveal

P.S. My computer sh*t the bed last week, so if you can let me know if anyone is missing

Was easier than I thought for some letters (till I see some the more obvious answers later of course) and brutal for some others.

I had decided to paint the kitchen yellow this Summer and on one site I found a colour called piss yellow. It's not the best yellow in the world but it's too much fun not to use it.

(When you get to my age you have to get your fun wherever you can:pac:)

If people would read the post without jumping to conclusions that would be also great!!

I didn't use it as an answer I am using it to paint my kitchen.

Did you just want to say "I'm taking the piss", and it got out of hand?

Presses in a nice, complimentary, Poo Brown?
