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.
Yes, Hooker's Green is the odd one out isn't it?
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?
Thankyou Kevin
I've been worrying about Bice.
Now I see the problem - it is rather forgettable isn't it.
I always had a soft spot for mandarin. Now, I'm more of a satsuma in my current role.
Great to meet Bice - I like him!
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.
I'm madder than purple
But lovely with it! (-:
