Wacky and hilarious Mason - great idea for the OS and you pumped it purple - 555
Mason - nice job...funny...oddly enough a few of us a work were discussing exactly what "puce" actually was(it's pretty slow here this time of year)...so I look up a site on the 'Net that showed it...I'd give it a chance, but I'm not sure on what...I'd give your parody a chance at three "5's" from me, though ~ ~ ~
I'm turning beet-red from laughter! 5s
"Sing it out for Pablo Picasso!" A colorful parody. 555
Typical. NOBODY mentions tangerine, you colourist bigot ;)
Stuart--thanks. Originally I was going to do a food one, "Give Peas a Chance" but I found that paint colors are even sillier than zucchini. Paul--I hope your monitor was calibrated. Puce can be nasss-ty! John Barry--Bring on the borscht! Agrimorfee--is this my brush with fame? Steven--Sorry I missed tangerine. I guess it wasn't an a-pealing color to me...
Periwinkle is a funny color. Whatever it is. Nice job. 5's
Who are those everybody who's talking about this? Fab 5? You can have them! ;-)
