Guest admin Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I have never seen anyone use a poll on this forum, and so I wanted to try it! Don't look at the results until you vote - if you do, you won't get to vote! If you do vote - explain, if you can, why you voted the way you did. An excellent procrastination tool if you have something else you really should be doing...
October's Autumn Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I picked pink because I understand it is a very calming color. I'm not sure which shade -- presumably a paler shade.
flowperson Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Great idea. I picked white, or rather an off white of some sort, you know...antique. I like to hang lots of original art on my walls along with other stuff and it's kind of like starting with a neutral pallette and creating something original just for me. But then maybe it's because I've lived in apartments and condos so much lately. flow....
Kay Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Blue, probably a mid shade - not too light, not too dark. The color of the sky and the ocean. Calming.
Flatliner Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I chose white to live with for the rest of my life (washable!!). I'm actually just looking through paint charts at the moment because I want to paint the main living areas of my house, and there is a booklet featuring 'white' (there are about 12 shades of white in the thing). Anyway, I like china white and berkshire white and one called pale tendril (who thinks up the names???). I like the way 'white' changes in the different kinds of light, so I'll be happy with that.
Cynthia Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Gray - also ocean/sky and a good reminder about certainty!
Kay Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Gray - also ocean/sky and a good reminder about certainty! Ok, that is freaking weird! My husband and I had an indepth conversation this morning about gray and certainty.
flowperson Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Certainty ????...A bogus concept in my experience. flow....
Kay Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Certainty ????...A bogus concept in my experience. flow.... Yup. That was kinda the point.
Realspiritik Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I picked green because a soft shade of green would remind me of God in Nature. Of course, that's probably because I live in a part of the world where Nature is mostly green -- trees, trees, and more trees. (Except for the blue sky and the blue water and the white winter snow, but I'm a sucker for trees.) Jen
midgecat Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I went for orange. Not your bright orange (like the orange and purple of the 70s) but a sort of dark orange .... african earth sort of orange. I've lived with that quite happily for a number of years already ...... and would probably be Ok indefinately .......... it's warm, when the sun shines on it it glows .............
