ReZourceman Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I thought this might be interesting. Well either interesting or really lame, but I will guaranteed be quite aroused by this so coolio. Kay, copy this ; And fill in the boxes with what you think are the colours, on Photoshop or Paint or whatever. Get as close to the colour you think as possible, then post it in a spoiler box. Don't look at other peoples until you've done yours. Sky Blue - Forest Green - Milky White - Pebble Grey - Dreamy Purple - Orange Flavour Ice Lollipop Orange - Skanky Horrible Yuck Colour Heres mine ;
CoolFunkMan Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 This is an awesome idea! Here's mine... Wasn't sure on creamy white, so I just left it out.

Eenuh Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Colours have faded a bit after saving (have no clue how to stop this with Photoshop, rah!), so imagine them being a bit brighter. =P
Wesley Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 [/img] Props to Shino for the pink. I always thought it was a terrible colour. Not being a boy thing or anything, it just serves no proper emotion.
Wesley Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Everyone is going for the same yuck colour. I really like that colour...
Paj! Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Everyone is going for the same yuck colour. I really like that colour... Well every colour has it's place, I think. But that colout has most connotations of old men in barber jackets and cardigans.
Supergrunch Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 This is a really cool idea, although there's the minor problem that people will have different displays to others. Incidentally, you should be able to get around the fading thing on photoshop by selecting "save for web" rather than "save" and saving with 100% quality. It'd be fun to do statistical analysis on the data resulting from this, which I might do when I have the time (i.e. in a couple of weeks). Anyhoo: I should probably point out that I have (among other types) grapheme → colour synaesthesia, which could affect things. So does Letty, if I recall correctly.
Paj! Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Spoiler tags, Paj.. Well who's looking at them before they've already done theirs? Everyone's colours are virtually the same anyway...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Everyone's colours are virtually the same anyway... You're kinda ruining the point of the thread, here ...
Supergrunch Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Everyone's colours are virtually the same anyway... Yes, but there are subtle differences, and it'd be interesting to see whether they correlate with anything else, and the different variances of the colour names.
Shino Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Colours have faded a bit after saving (have no clue how to stop this with Photoshop, rah!), so imagine them being a bit brighter. =P Try saving as PNG. It uses a lossless compression algorithm. [/img] Props to Shino for the pink. I always thought it was a terrible colour. Not being a boy thing or anything, it just serves no proper emotion. At first I wasn't really sure, but then it made perfect sense. Its just an annoying colour, specially when its of the "electric" variant.
Paj! Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Yeah but any decent person would do their own first, like I did, before posting it and looking at others. You aren't meant to look past the first post, so anyone who does deserves to have the game ruined.
Rummy Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I am quite amazed by all your results, is there something I am just not seeing? Tbh, I considered doing it now whilst I'm slightly drunk, but I did it in my head and all of yours looks different to mine... (P.S Where did you find this/what inspired you ReZ? I'm intrigued by whatever is going down here....)
Emasher Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Edit: I'm surprised at how identical most people's are. Especially the last one.
