If you could name a colour, what would you call it?

hace 9 años
Don't you love how creative designers can get when they name a new colour/shade? Elephant's breath, Tangerine Tango, Death by Chocolate... the list is endless.

If you had the chance, which colour would you go for, and what would you call it?

      Dirty Pink. ( to get rid of any sugary connotation.)

      I am hoping there is a colour out there,already, called Parisian Pink. I am searching for this elusive colour.

      lydichad - my bathroom is painted in a colour called Salsa Red by Dulux - I love it! It's a 'true' red. The builders refurbishing the bathroom admitted they originally laughed when they heard what I wanted (+huge black tiles in smallish bathroom) but later were amazed how it came together and asked if they could take photos for their website ... so it definitely is spicy!

      I would love luscious pink - a deep but clear pink (with no black in it) I have been looking for this colour for ages after using a pink called 'Russian Red' which is a dark pink (with too much black). I also love the idea of 'egg yolk yellow', and simply 'orange orange' ... did you know the fruit was named after the colour? rather than the other way round.

      I tried the salsa red on what will be our feature wall, it didn't work well sadly. Currently it resembles a murder scene, right above of our fireplace lol.

      Roy I think it also depends on how much you love a colour ... I love bright deep colours, in my house, in wardrobe etc. I love drama and contrast and the bathroom is somewhere that I don't spend hours so it can be bold. Not sure I would put it in my living room although I did lock myself in my bedroom when I was a teenager and painted my bedroom the equivalent of Salsa Red because my dad had said I couldn't. I loved it and lived with it happily for years. Here's the bathroom, I looove it so much and even after several years I just go in to admire it. It's not just the red, the tiles and very unusual bath, the fittings, the whole thing ... it feels like a piece of art (I know, I know how can someone get so excited about a bathroom but I take my thrills where I can get them ;-) ...

      I used Farrow and Ball's Elephants Breath (muddy Grey) and Skimming Stone on my kitchen and it looked great!

      Some great ideas.
      This reminds me of a Victoria Wood sketch where the old couple won a competition to think up new names for colours.
      I remember liver and bandage...which was grey!

      I have already done this. A customer wanted the exact same colour on her walls as the kitchen cabinets that we had installed. We had the Decorators Merchants do a colourmatch on it andit turned out to be a unique coliur so it became known as 'P & P Maintenance Cream'

      [chookchook2[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/user/chookchook2) I love the idea of calling a colour Gary but what kind of colour would it be!? Not Gary Grey surely, doesn't sound fun enough.

      [chookchook2[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/user/chookchook2) that is such an exclusively Aussie colour, love it!! (No one else calls them flannelette shirts ;-) Living in London for many years it's funny the small things you miss.

      If I ever stumble across that elusive blue I am looking for, I will call it "Serendipity."
      Question for all of you - what color do you think "Careless Whisper" would be?
    • PRO
      hace 8 años

      [sootsprite[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/user/sootsprite) Careless Whisper would be a light slightly hazy blue (meaning a light, bright blue but with a touch of grey in the mix)

      A careless whisper of scandal to someone's spouse could result in alot of gunmetal grey and blood red!

      trasimeno love it as an ice breaker game! Italian sky sounds gorgeous!

      I suspect Rioja Red has already been done but still sounds delicious and would make a great colour.
