Where before I was interested in serene colors (slates, chalks, powders, grays, sky blues, reflective pools, shades), I have over the past few years been more drawn to richness. Especially rich browns.
Like mahogany. A brown inflected with an emergent red. The color of many woods, many leathers. The color of certain whiskeys, rooibos tea, some barbecue sauces.
It's difficult to know what is more evocative: the colors themselves or the language you use to paint them. protagonist scarlet of a cooked lobster's shell is amazing. And I love that shade of greenishness, if I reckon it rightly.
Do these colors mean anything (symbolically) to you? Or do they have an emotional correspondence?
since I was little....my favorite color in the box was orange/yellow... somehow, now, I find this is again, pretty dominate in my life...mixed with brown..

A fundamental nature that is as tempered and introspective as autumn nature but in company as bright and bold and forward as he needs to be? :) That's how I'm reading your colors, anyway. Freely contradict me; you're the expert here. :)
I love the orange-yellow in that first picture. I could go for much more of that color in my life.
Aww: Glad you liked it, Fella! You won me over to your colors -- the orange; I like it better than mine now. OK if I adopt 'em as part of my "big change no. 11"?
God, your shirt sounds rightly toned and damn comfy!
I could eat Hero on a plate every day, but this one -- though good -- didn't hit me as strongly. This story seemed a little predictable to me, but I think his use of color was more concerted, more focused than it has been in earlier movies. So I was mesmerized.
Yeah, I would be interested in particular in how you respond to the colour combo question. :)
When I watched the film it was by myself and I got great personal entertainment by pretending to be the director. Every five minutes I would throw my arms in the air and scream: "MORE OPULENCE!"
Haha! That's it exactly! I caught myself laughing aloud now and then for its over-the-top-ness, which I purely enjoyed. He may be one of my very favorite Color Jockeys.
