Christian Crayon Color Compendium

This blog post was requested by Emily. Oh, and inspired by the picture below.

Here are some possible color options. I recognize that my Mormonity influenced some of the names.

Please add your ideas in the comments area. A box of 64 crayons would be ideal. You can use this link to find inspiration. I'll add your colors to our list. Kim already said that she wanted in as an investor.
(if you're in Google Reader, you may need to click on the blog post link to see the colors properly, and too see any additions, apparently)

Cardinal
Celestial Cerulean
Pharisaical Fuchsia

What the coloring page what? That's the most random thing I think I've ever seen!

emily said...

Oo, I like Apocryphal Apricot.

How about:

Terrestrial Tan
Irreantum Blue
Methuselah Grey


don't worry, i'll be back with more...

There are more bizarre pictures like that. I'm going to try to find them again.

emily said...

I see the collection is already a tad skewed to neutrals, but I think Fine-Twined Linen needs to be included anyway.

emily said...

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but: Burning Bush.

(See: candy apple red)

Amazing. Lol

emily said...

Virtuous Vermilion

Milk and Honey

Tabernacle Turquoise

Amen Amethyst

I remember this page from one of our late-night sharing sessions. I think that the color called "flesh of Christ" (on the page itself) wins for creepiest.

Marie said...

The inspiration page was very helpful.

Deseret Dandelion

Rahab Drab (the origin of the word is ironic considering that it now means boring, although it makes sense when the color portion of its etymology is ocnsidered)

Desert Sand #40 or Desert Wanderings

I was stuck in the Ds apparently.

Vanessa Swenson said...

I don't like that Vermilion is spelled with only one L. I'm just saying.
Milk and Honey was especially lovely--and fun to do! For semantic & Word of Wisdom irony's sake, I went with "cosmic latte" for milk.

Now that we have Tabernacle Turquoise, we should come up with a color to describe the fuzzy red suits the man have to wear sometimes.

Vanessa Swenson said...

Marie, your names were inspiring. Rahab Drab was a stroke of genius.

Vanessa Swenson said...

Amy, we should do some Portuguese. I was thinking preto de pecado and amém amarelo.

Vanessa Swenson said...

A-L: it would be interesting to see what color people would pick for "Flesh of Christ."
You're right, it is very creepy. And it reminds me of Communion.

Sunbeam Yellow
Righteous Rainbow (rainbow swirled)
Miracle Mauve

Vanessa Swenson said...

Done.
Done.
And Done.
:D

I did change the name of Righteous Rainbow to Rectitude Rainbow, b/c we had Righteous Red up there.
Swirling was fun, too.
