i can discern colours to a fine degree. for this reason, i never knew what my favourite colour was when i was a child. i never saw in my environment every colour that was possible for me to discern, and so whilst i preferred certain colours amongst those that i had seen, i was not able to visualize colours i had never seen that may be more attractive to me than any colour i already knew.
so i wrote a crude program that was able to display 16,777,216 colours depending on the RGB input i fed it, and i experimented for weeks, and i became obsessed with RGB combinations, and i started to imagine colours whilst i was not at home, and i learned to mentally calculate the RGB attributes to feed my program to display the colour i was thinking about.
but then i realized my 2 ultimately favourite colours were colours that i would never paint on my walls. i like pastel colours for my home, but for mechanical objects (like a car) i like a variant of "claret", and a color that i devised (using the RGB input values) which i call "upper stratospheric blue"
here is the "claret" type of colour that is exactly to my liking. i would like to have a 1972 roll's royce silver shadow painted in this colour. polished to a high buff but not metallic.
and my other favourite colour ( "upper stratospheric blue") looks like this:
i have exhausted my ability to post more colours without invoking the "couldn't obtain smileys data" routine, si i will post Tammy's favourite colour in the next post.
