"This week's color is TEAL --- or is it?  Here's the story. A two part post -- then and now.  My original post made back in January is preserved. After a few months, my frustration level -- well "leveled" and I am doing the actual TEAL post along with the rest of the crew on the forum." Read more on the blog.

"It took me a few tries; I apparently have some "lucky numbers" in my head that I didn't know about and kept coming up with colors we had already tackled. But eventually I got a new one ---- sienna." Read more on the blog.

"We've been pretty colorful lately but it's time to move back into neutrals territory. This week's styling features that not quite white -- ECRU.  Now for those of you that care and want to save outfits for later creative works, ecru is not cream or white or silver (all still in the list) so some decrement may be called for in picking out your outfits. It was for me anyway." Read more on the blog.

"Since a few weeks I’ve seen several challenges on social media with the hashtag #TellMeWithoutTellingMe. Mostly on Facebook and Twitter, challenging you to tell in what country you live or what you do for a living, without saying the name of said country or profession. I love these kind of challenges and thought it would be fun to make one for Second Life.... Tell me you are a Second Life resident, without telling you are in Second Life" Read more on the blog.
 

"Back in the land of earthy goodness, we have a muted and medium brown tone. This differs from taupe in value, being darker -- but what is dark taupe ends  all depends on your point of view.   I didn't have to look too far to find an outfit. This may be all that delving in my closet, who knows?" Read more on the blog.

"Eggplant appears to be a bit more toward violet than patriarch, our first color challenge; it is also more muted.  But they are pretty close so wander through that now familiar closet and see what you can find.   Pantone's idea of eggplant seems pretty consistent from my search." Read more on the blog.

"We are back in warm tones territory again this week with YELLOW.  Now "banana" was a very pale yellow and "goldenrod" was a very vibrant yellow on its way toward orange" and "lemon yellow"." Read more on the blog.

"I bet you are wondering how I am choosing the colors each week.  I could of course pick out a hue available in a recent purchase, but where would the fun be in that?  There are 52 weeks to choose from.  I think of a number between 1 and 52 (with number 38 out of the running) and then look up that color on my keepsake page."

"It’s time for another photo challenge, with more fabulous prizes!  This month’s challenge is sponsored by the lovely  Ishiku!  Big things are coming for this extremely talented designer, and we’re so happy to have them sponsor our latest challenge!" Read more on the blog.

"Wednesday was more than inauguration day, it was also the day that I finished my personal tour through the 52 colors.  In a wild binge of blogging I finished up the last eight (yes, I WAS tired, thank you) colors and patted myself on the back for completing the challenge." Read more on the blog.

"This is a post for the #BVNBloggerChallenge ! This week’s theme is National Doughnut Week!" Read more on the blog.

"Well the good news is that most all of the color swatches for emerald green are very close to each other, so at least there is agreement.  Emerald is apparently "cooler" (towards blue rather than yellow) of just plain green which we have tackled and tamed -- well, I hope so anyway.  It is very close to "teal".   Since green have been problematic for me I am guessing this may be a tricky color, but hopefully something is hiding in my inventory." Read more on the blog.

"We are moving from warm tones to hot, hot, hot this week. I give your RED. I remember reading an interesting factoid in a color theory book long ago.  When faced with choosing what  color "red" really is, no two persons would agree. Since there ARE an infinite number of reds the eye can see, this wasn't a terribly scientific quote, but you get the idea. So find YOUR red and crank things up a bit." Read more on the blog.

"What a pretty picture.  It only took me all night AND some shopping to get it!  Oh the things we do for a photo. This week we are revisiting the green family with "lime".  So far GREEN has been the hardest color for me. I have very little green in my wardrobe and for the most part it is not an included color in the fatpack laden separates hiding behind everyday sweaters and jeans." Read more on the blog.

"Week ten we journey back towards violet on the color wheel -- with MAUVE. Now I can't say that mauve in any rendition of its color palette is one of my favorites.  I am pretty sure I haven't worn the color in either virtual or corporeal life, but "it's the process that counts" as we say in the art world -- sometimes as we are simultaneously pulling hair out by the roots." Read more on the blog.

"The original challenge had a week for "pink" but somehow Pantone seems to have given up on those generic names, so I piked a nice medium hot pink that was different than the others in our list.   This is AZELEA." Read more on the blog.

"When I hear the word "indigo" I immediately thing of navy blue.  It turns out that's not quite the hue we are looking for this week. Indigo -- and surprisingly Pantone seems to have one main "indigo" instead of a dozen -- is lighter than navy and also less vibrant, so more gray in the mix." Read more on the blog.

"as part of my promise to myself to actually blog here regularly in 2021, here are my seven SL facts about myself:" Read more on the blog.

"Strike up the band and dust off the trumpets -- this week's color is BLUE." Read more on the blog.

"Back in the yellow family again! So many yellows. Well I guess we could say that for any color really. We still have lemon yellow and gold to go -- but today's sunny hue is GOLDENROD.  A very saturated (bright) yellow on its way toward orange.  Pantone had decided that goldenrod is somewhat like this:" Read more on the blog.

"It’s time for another contest, because…why not?  Ms. Bunnie Francis has gone hog wild in the FabFree InfoHub.  Everything is decorated and gorgeous!  She’s even managed to set out a little photo taking area that is all sparkly and inviting.  Here’s where you come in!  It’s time for a photo challenge!" Read more on the blog.

"We are still on the warm side of the color wheel this week with TANGERINE.  I had a bit of a problem wrapping my head around this "hue"; I mean it is orange, right?  Well in the fruit world there is a difference between an orange and a tangerine and in a color palette there is too." Read more on the blog.

"We’re almost half way through the April 2021 “Springtime Fabulous” FabFree Photo Challenge… but there is still lots of time for you to get your contest entries in!" Read more on the blog.

"Honestly? A color call "jazzberry" -- who knew?  But Pantone confirms that is indeed a color, rich like raspberries with a hint of blueberry for some added pizazz." Read more on the blog.
