    Aqua and aquarmarine have been grouped, as the actual colours (while marginally different) are definitely going to seem the same to people who think there is only one shade of white. And well I didn't want to discriminate! :p
    (Disclaimer: neither first place nor the wooden spoon are affected by this grouping choice!)

    A fairly split decision, two medium sheep (like not the really really fat ones)!
    A few stragglers - are they starting as they mean to go on, or is there hope or them yet?

    B

    Well there were only two options here...

    But then maybe a basic colour is not good enough and you want to live on the wild side...

    C

    So I made three suggestions - did any of them sheep?

    Chinese (minus the blue, but it is a really lovely shade)

    exterior-masonry-90-chinese-blue.jpg

    Cyan

    Cerulean

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,786 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    I didn't take your suggestions seriously.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    :pac:
    Is Beaver a Crayola crayon color?
    The hexadecimal color code #926f5b is a shade of orange. In the RGB color model #926f5b is comprised of 57.25% red, 43.53% green and 35.69% blue. In the HSL color space #926f5b has a hue of 22° (degrees), 23% saturation and 46% lightness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,953 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Oh....

    I thought we had to name colours with saying red black blue etc etc .
    Yes Beaver is a brown colour ..Wikipedia told me so .

    The rest of my answers are just as obscure. .

    Can I have the spoon now please?

    It was a very dark round ;)
    But did the darkness prevail, did it Chewbacca, or were we feeling more sunny...
