My favorite color is black. Fascinating journey here Anne. I’ve always had issues with color swatch “names”. “Aqua Marine Sunrise” sounds like a an opinion and a cocktail and does nothing for me in defining a hue. Nothing. Add to that 12 more colors with similar names and I give up.

re: that 15th C botany book . . . As the anthropomorphized roots were drawn with increasing malevolence, I became convinced the artist(s) of that 15th C herb book were gardeners . . . or at the very least had to pull weeds at the monastery for penance . . . Wow, that was a fascinating find, Anne!
