Memories of flares, 10cc, and trips on my oul red bicycle just came flooding back.

Thank you for posting this. I love seeing the different blues and I really don't remember Hooker's Green.

Gadjo Dilo said...

Yes, Hooker's Green is the odd one out isn't it?

Gareth Williams said...

Tremendous Kevin. And a public service already made use of as I've linked to this page from today's post. How else could I attempt to provide more or less accurate descriptions for the colours of Penguin book jackets?

KAZ said...

Thankyou Kevin
I've been worrying about Bice.
Now I see the problem - it is rather forgettable isn't it.

Madame DeFarge said...

I always had a soft spot for mandarin. Now, I'm more of a satsuma in my current role.

Lulu LaBonne said...

Great to meet Bice - I like him!

Kevin Musgrove said...

Jimmy: happy to serve, old lad

fairyhedgehog: I'm amazed at how much I enjoyed doing this. And just to reassure you and Gadjo: Hooker's Green's real enough. I've still got a tube of Romney watercolour somewhere.

Gareth: do you know, I hadn't noticed that!

Kaz: you're welcome. Eminently forgettable I think.

Madame: a girl needs a hobby (-:

Lulu: it occurs to me that it's a colour that men of my age could do well to wear. Especially trousers.

But lovely with it! (-:
