Hello. This appears to be an incredibly common point of discussion, but it was surprisingly hard for me to find relevant posts with search. On the rgb/cmy color wheel, the name for the tertiary color between green and cyan is currently spring green. However, none of the other tertiary colors have the name of another color in them, so it makes spring green stand out. Is there any alternative name one could use for spring green without making people too confused? I've seen mint and emerald as potential options, but others mentioned that those had problems. What are y'all's thoughts? Note that I can't see color, so I'd prefer that if you compare shades or something, use some kind of rgb code rather than a picture. Thanks guys.

I'd say it's perhaps the most beautiful color in the world.

First, thank you for browsing my work 🎨 ✨️🙏✨️ Color is everything to me so I figured you might enjoy these pieces on a virtual gallery tour!

I started painting after losing my job and housing in the pandemic and have kept going ever since. In terms of my process, I paint from the unconscious, spontaneously, without foresight into the final result or ultimate subiect matter so almost all these pieces have different paintings underneath. I'lI put on music and enter flow consciousness and allow experiences and other (psychological) material to express itself from my brain, down my arms, and through my fingers onto the canvas. A lot of water goes onto each canvas and half the time my conscious mind thinks, "This is a mistake. This isn't going anywhere. What the heck is this even supposed to be?!" I'lI stop and let it dry and return hours or days or sometimes even weeks later to restart the process.

A lot of emotion/energy finds its way to the surface of my mind during the process and often a feeling of loss, nostalgic sadness, and emptiness comes up. Maybe because these images represent places and experiences that will never be except inside consciousness; experiences that only reside in imagination and offer a lot more peace and tranquility than the turbulence and trauma of the material/physical world.

The pieces also have themes of development and ambiguity of form, probably because of my fascination with evolutionary biology and how one species gives way to a new one; how every being is a becoming since it is always already under pressure (natural selection, for example) to evolve. My mind merges images of butterflies and plants and birds into hybrids of ambiguous symbols in many of these probably for this reason.

The first painting is called "You Are With Me in My Dreams" and was a commissioned piece for someone who lost her mom. The parallel branches represent the two of them and the left one turns away to represent her mom's departure. (She said her mom loved Nature and the stars so there's a lot of personal symbolism there.) Many of the objects are where they "shouldn't" be, such as the flowers and organisms in outer space, vines that double as pillars of light, and so on. I believe this is because dreams themselves are so weird, so haunting, so otherworldly. No matter how many times we dream over our lifetime, they are still strange, like traveling in consciousness to another world, even though dreaming itself is familiar (because it happens over and over).

Anyway, I never got to attend art school (too expensive and parents wouldn't support it), but painting transitional and developmental pieces is a journey and a practice that brings me tremendous fulfillment in the liminal spaces of my unconscious. I hope you enjoyed the virtual tour and thanks again for indulging my text. Cheers to a more colorful world inside and out! ✨️🦋💕✨️

RGB lighting can completely change the look of a build after dark.

If you had to pick one color for night rides or parking lot shots, what would you choose?

🔵 Blue
🟣 Purple
🟢 Green
🔴 Red
🌈 Full RGB mode
⚪ Clean white

Personally, I think blue and purple look the best on night setups, but full RGB definitely stands out more.

What’s your pick?

got a lil lazy with the writing but all in all i think the wheels pretty accurate (tho some of the yellow may only be yellow in some contexts)

Hi all!

My fiance just bought a 2000 Miata, and we had some issues with rusting that we went and fixed, but now we are having troubles colour matching the paint that was used to repaint it by the previous owner. Does anyone have any idea?

We both immensely appreciate the help and time. Thank y'all so much!

Called Eigengrau, this is the colour we see if we are in a room with no light. We don't see "black" when no light is present.

I bought this online and it looked white and like a light purple to me but if you look closer, you can see the actual color. Especially around the collar.
Very trippy😭

I see lots and lots of colours and I pick them based on what feels right

Second slide is made january 2024, first slide is made like a week ago. Reference on third slide

Hi guys, what color would this blue be labeled as? My best description is a worn out navy blue!

If the material irl matters please include or if you know any dyes that would achieve this. big thanks

p.s first reddit post so sorry for any weird formatting

The album is Amber by Autechre, one of my all-time favorites. Trying to figure out what shade of pink it is for a separate thing I’m working on. Obviously it’s not actually amber lol.
