Undefineable colors.

Try to describe a color, any color, but without making any reference to it by name. It's like one of those lick-your-elbow things. :)

soft and soothingly tart, quite, generous, warm, welcoming.

It's cinnamon hot and burns and bleeds. It alarms and makes you stop.

it sounds like a meal, not really a mouthful, more of a drink. it's home is outside, hidden underneath, but it's hard to stay still. it wants to be free but is not under threat, for being mistaken and unknown. it's a bit unfair being hidden in the shadows like this, not much of a good deal.

Colors are tasty... like elbows.

I feel I should answer this question with haiku. I shall abstain.

It consumes you, filling your mind and lets you rest. It belongs to death in the west and to the unknown in the east. It never blurs, its shades are one. It is absence and presence and it shakes the foundations of thought.

It's such a contradiction. It can be subtle or it can scream "bold". It's not a color you walk past without noticing... but at the same time, it can just compliment. It can be tasteful... it can be repulsive. The first time I saw the color, I hated it. The next time I noticed it, I fell in love with the vibrant uniqueness. It can be SO intimidating painted on a wall, but hit it with a few accents and it becomes soothing and the perfect choice for a living room. bright. beautiful. waves. ocean. light. combination. bubbly. in the family with colored envy. brave. sea foam green.

Haha, I really appreciate this challenge. Something so humbling and beautiful about perceiving something (color) but having an inability to explain it. Could this be another proof of God....sorry if I seem overly theistic :)
