Key Quotes
p.10
There is a kind of white that is more than white, and
this was that kind of white. There is a kind of white
that repels everything that is inferior to it, and that
is almost everything. This was that kind of white.
There is a kind of white that is not created by bleach
but that itself is bleach. This was that kind of white.
This white was aggressively white. It did its work on
everything around it, and nothing escaped.
p.12
What is it that motivated this fixation with white?
p.52
If colour is cosmetic, it is added to the surface of
things, and probably at the last moment. It does not
have a place within things; it is an after thought; it can
be rubbed off.
Colour, then, is arbitrary and unreal: mere make-up.
But while it may be superficial, that is not quite the
same as being trivial, for cosmetic colour is also
always less than honest.
There is an ambiguity in make-up; cosmetics can
often confuse, cast doubt, mask or manipulate; they
can produce illusions or deceptions.
p.62
In at least one sense, all painting is cosmetic. All
painting involves the smearing of coloured paste over
a flat, bland surface, and is done in order to trick and
deceive a viewer.
In one sense, all painting is cosmetic, but in another
sense the use of flat screen-printed and industrial
colours will always appear cosmetic applied, stuck

on, removable in a way that the modulated colours


and tone of oil paint do not.
p.79
To attend to colour, then, is, in part, to attend to the
limits of language, what a world without language
might be like
Many commentators have taken the image of
childhood as a model, if not for a language-free
universe then at least for a world in which language
has not yet fully established its grip on experience;
this world is, also, more often than not, saturated in
colour.
Stories of adulthood tend more often to lament a
world of colour eclipsed by the shadow of language;
they present images of luminous childood becoming
clouded by the habits of adult life.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning: Frequent tears have run
the colours from my life.
p.80
If in many of these stories the exposure to language
robs a life of its colour, are there then other stories
in which it happens the other way around? Are there
equal and opposite stories in which exposure to
colour robs a life of its language, stories in which a
sudden flood of colour renders a speaker speechless
p.81
The idea that colour is beyond, beneath or in
some other way at the limit of language has been
expressed in a number of ways by a number of
writers

Colour and Culture by John Gage


the feeling that verbal language is incapable of
defining the experience of colour
In Colour Codes, Charles A. Riley notes that colour
refuses to conform to schematic and verbal systems
p.82 Julia Kristeva
that while semiological approaches consider
painting a language, they are limited insofar as they
do not allow for an equivalent for colour within the
elements of language identified by linguistics.
p.83 Jacqueline Lichtenstein
Colour is a pleasure that exceeds discursiveness.
Like passion, the pleasure of coloris slips away from
linguistic determination
this does not indicate a deficiency in colour so much
as the insufficiency and impotence of language

about pointing. beneath the commercial drive of


its surface narrative, the stories of the yellow shirt
and the lavender underpants were also philosophical
tales about the inadequacy of words. They ask how
it is possible for us accurately to represent colours to
each other, when verbal language has proved itself
entirely insufficient. And they suggest that, almost
automatically, we reach outside of language with the
help of a gesture. We point, sample and show rather
than say. And in our pointing sampling and showing
we make comparisons. In doing this, we call for the
help of something outside ourselves and outside
language, and in the process we expose the limits of
our words.
p.85
They asked how it is possible for us accurately
to represent colours to each other, when verbal
language has proved itself entirely insufficient.
To fall into colours is to run out of words

Whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must remain


silent said Wittgenstein, who also saw in colour the
outer limits of language.
p.84
How often, when it comes to colour do we revert
to a gesture? How often do we find ourselves
having to point to an example of colour? Dulux, a
division of Imperial Chemical Industries and one
of the largest commercial paint manufacturers in
England, ran a series of television advertisements
to promote their extensive range of household
colours. Significantly, they were silent films; there
was no dialogue in the group of scenes that made
up each of the short narratives. These were films

But there are other ways in which words fail us when


it comes to colour, and so there are still reasons to
continue. We have to shift the ground a bit, however,
and begin to talk less of colour and more of colours.
What is the difference? If colour is single and colours
are many, how can we have both?
Plotinus said colour is devoid of parts, and this is
probably among the most significant things ever said
on the subject.
Colour was single; it was indivisible. But in being
indivisible, colour also put itself beyond the reach of
rational analysis.

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

If colour is indivisible, a continuum, what sense can


there be in talking of colours? None, obviously
except we do it all the time. Colour spreads flows
bleeds stains floods soaks seeps merges. It does not
segment or subdivide. Colour is fluid.
Colour may be a continuum, but the continuum
is continuously broken, the indivisible is endlessly
divided.
From at least the time of Newton, colour has been
subjected to the discipline of geometry, ordered into
an endless variety of colour circles, triangles, stars,
cubes, cylinders or spheres. These shapes always
contain divisions, and these divisions, as often as
not, contain words. And with these words colour
becomes colours. But what does it mean to divide
colour into colours? Where do the divisions occur?
Is it possible that these divisions are somehow
internal to colour, that they form a part of the
nature of colour? Or are they imposed on colour by
conventions of language and culture?
p.87
Colour has not yet been named, said Derrida.
Perhaps not, but some colours have. We have colour
names, and so we have colours.
The human brain can distinguish minute variations
in colour; it has been said that we can recognize
several million different colours. At the same time, in
contemporary English, there are just eleven general
colour names in common usesage: Black, white, red,
yellow, green, blue, brown, purple, pink, orange, grey.

p.88
Literary Welsh , for example has no words that
correspond exactly with the English green, blue,
grey and brown; Vietnamase and Korean make
no clear distinction between green and blue; and
Russian has no single word for blue, but two words
denoting different colours. Then there is purple.
Newton had a problem with it, which we will return
to, and so do the French, a language which, like
English, also scores the full eleven on the Belin-Kay
scale. But if the French violet corresponds to our
violet, it would seem that it is not quite the same as
our purple. Likewise, their brun might more or less
correspond to our brown, at least in the abstract,
as a colour term; but when used descriptively rather
than referentially, when applied to things in the world
like shoes, hair and eyes, brown and brun part
company. French shoes may be brown, but they
arent brun so much as marron. And French hair, if its
brun, is dark rather than brown.
Derek Jarman: This morning I met a friend on the
corner of Oxford Street. He was wearing a beautiful
yellow coat. I remarked on it. He had bought it in
Tokyo and he said it was sold to him as green. 20
p.89
For Lyons, the lesson of Hanunoo and other
languages is that colour names are so tired into
cultural usage of one kind or another that any
abstract equivalence is effectively lost. In some cases
they cease to be colour names in the ordinary sense.
To conceive of colour in terms of independent of, say
luminosity or reflectiveness is in itself a cultural and
linguistic habit and not a universal occurrence. Ditto
the separation of hue from tone.

10

Such basic colour terms as we have, to put it another


way, even terms like colour, are the products of
language and culture more than the products of
colour.
p.90
the names of colours, in themselves, have no precise
chromatic content: they must be viewed within the
general context of many interacting semiotic systems.
Russian, we are told has two words for blue. That is
to say, Russians appear to deal with blue in roughly
the way we deal with red and pink. Certainly, what
we call light blue is optically distant from dark blue
as pink is from red, perhaps more to, and yet our
language allows no such independence for bits of
blue. Pink is the only basic colour term in English
that also denotes a specific part of another basic
colour term, one end of red. But there seems to
be no necessary reason for this in terms of our
experience of colour. When we see light blue, do we
see something different from what a Russian speaker
sees? And while we are on the subject of light and
dark, what about dark yellow? Yellow is certainly the
lightest of the spectrum colours, but when yellow is
darkened, where does it go? Does it get wrapped up
in a kind of brown? Or is it lost to the insecure empire
of orange? And if we can just about imagine yellow
drifting and darkening towards orange and brown,
why cant we imagine it turning towards green in
the same way? What happens to yellow as it travels
towards green? And how distinct is green from
yellow? More distinct than orange is from yellow and
purple s from blue and from red? Probably, but then
why dont we have a name or names for the colour
space between green and yellow?

p.91
For the philosopher C. L. Hardin, the author of one
of the most comprehensive and rigorous studies of
the science of colour, this gap, this nameless colour
between yellow and green, remains an anomaly
(as does the entire existence of pink, incidentally).
Nevertheless, he offers a tentative and, for a
philosopher-scientist, a rather weird explanation
for this space: he thinks it is not a very nice colour,
or that people tend not to like it, so nobody has
bothered to name it.
Wittgenstein asked: How do I know this colour is
red? To which he replied: because I have learned
English. 27
p.92
William Gass on the relationship between colour
names and colours, starting with blue:
The word itself has another colour. Its not a word with
any resonance, although the e was once pronounced.
There is only a bump now between the b and l, the
relief at the end, the whew. It hasnt the sly turn which
crimson takes halfway though, yellows deceptive
jelly, or the rolled down sound in brown. It hasnt
violets rapid sexual shudder, or like a rough road the
irregularity of ultramarine, the low puddle un mauve
like a pancake covered in cream, the disapproving
purse to pink, the assertive brevity of red, the whine
of green. 28
Arthur Rimbaud
I invented the colour of vowels! A black, E white, I
red, O blue, U green. 29

To discuss colour terms is, it seems, to talk about


language more than it is to talk about colour.

Not only did this type of paint come in a can, it


looked good in the can.

Basic colour terms may be universal, but they are


useless when it comes to the study of colour.

The anxiety that Stellas remark betrays does not, or


at least does not directly, concern the loss of three
or more centuries of oil and easel painting. He was
pointing in another direction. His concern was not
how his work would measure up to the art of the past
but how it would compare with the paint in the can.

Gasss beloved blue is everywhere, and everywhere


it is different. The word blue holds the entire
disorganized and antagonistic mass of blues in a
prim four-lettered cage.
p.98
1964 radio interview Frank Stella
I knew a wise-guy who used to make fun of
may paintings, but he didnt like the Abstract
Expressionists either. He said the would be good
painters if they could only keep the paint as good as
it was in the can.
To keep the paint as good as it was in the can Frank
Stella
p.99
The change in art it acknowledges may not seem so
big: it says that paint now comes from a can. That is,
from a can rather than from a tube: whereas artists
paints usually come in tubes, industrial or household
paints are normally stored in cans. Artists paints
were developed to allow the representation of various
kinds of bodies in different types of space. Flesh
was the reason oil painting was invented, said De
Kooning. Industrial paints are made to cover large
surfaces in a uniform layer of flat colour. They form a
skin, but they do not suggest flesh.

Reference: BATCHELOR, D., 2000. Chromaphobia. London: Reaktion.

p.100
That Stella sought to keep the paint that good
suggests he knew it might be hard to improve on the
materials in their raw state, that once the paint had
been put to use in art, it might well be less interesting
than when it was in the can.

Paint and Paint Names


Daniel Harris
16

I had painted walls only once in my life and was


entirely unprepared to tackle the six rooms of the
apartment I recently purchased. What began as an
exciting project of renovation, a fresh start, a new
lease on life, ended as a costly disaster. Tawny Day
Lily looked like a drop of golden sunshine on the
paint chip, but on the four walls of my bedroom it was
a technicolor catastrophe, as was Dark Salmon, a
cloying shade of pink, and Candied Yam, a sulfurous
yellow that transformed my room into the girlish lair of
a cheerleader. Tangerine Dream looked no better in
my hallway, and the Citrus Blast of my pantry, when
seen in conjunction with the Caramelized Orange of
my kitchen, turned my front rooms into a fruit stand.
No one had mentioned to me what many consider
a rule of thumb in choosing paint: find a color you
like and then select one at least two shades lighter
or, better yet, choose another color altogether,
preferably white, or, better still, dont choose and let
someone more knowledgeable make the decision
for you. When magnified on the wall, a square inch
of Pumpkin Patch or Iguana Green becomes several
square yards of fluorescent orange and radioactive
malachite. The difference between the chips one
selects from the color preview palettes on display
in hardware stores and what one slaps onto the
plasterboard is so extreme that the inexperienced
homeowner chooses this unequivocally visual
product blindly, sight unseen. As tangibly physical
as paint is, we are not actually buying a bucket of
latex and pigment but a far more fanciful literary
product, an evocative name and a piece of paper
no bigger than a bookmark, a type of phantasmal
paint that we apply not with our brushes but with our
imaginations, which rise to the bait of such arresting,

yet evanescent, two-word haikus as Bright Laughter,


Butterfly Bush, Fleeting Fawn, and Pale Parsnip.
Words, however, are a poor substitute for pigment.
Strawberry Mousse and Pineapple Delight may be
great for the taste buds, but they are hell on the eyes.
The vast selection of colors available in paint stores
(I counted over 50 shades of pink, among them Pink
Popsicle, Marshmallow Bunny, and Tickled Pink)
complicates the homemakers task even further.
Although the Inter-Society Color Council recognizes
only 267 colors and, moreover, gives them such
prosaic names as Reddish Orange, Very Light Green,
and Dark Red, Pittsburgh Paint currently offers 1,800
colors and Benjamin Moore no less than 2,000a
mere fraction of the 14,000 the latter has produced
since its inception in 1883. Such bewildering variety
would challenge the taxonomical skills of even the
most ingenious of Linnaeuses who, as it stands,
has no tidy Latinate system to make order out
of chaos but gives way to despairing giddiness,
lapsing into free association. The muse of nonsequiturs inspires him to dream up such marginally
descriptive epithets as Splish Splash, Pitter Patter,
Golfers Tan, Pollination, Salted Shrimp, Old Pickup
Truck Blue, Rubber Duckie, and Fuzzy Navel. The
absence of established rules also creates nonsensical
redundancies and contradictions; Surf Spray for Pratt
and Lambert is pale yellow, while California Paints
Tropical Surf is dark greenish-blue and Benjamin
Moores Ocean Spray is white-green, just as Mission
for Pratt is whitish-beige while Mission for California
Paints is blackish-blue.
Before the late 19th century, no primordial paint
Adam could christen a wall color a single name

because there were no stable paint species. Each


professional house painter mixed his colors on the
spot by eye (not by a predetermined recipe) and was
therefore seldom, if ever, able to reproduce the exact
same shade. In 1867, the first ready-made paint was
patented, and in 1892, Benjamin Moore brought out
a revolutionary powdered paint called Muresco, a
kind of instant freeze-dried mix to which one simply
added water and stirred. It was an exciting innovation
heralded by interior decorators and contractors,
even if it was available in an admittedly limited palette
(namely, white). Only after World War II, with the rise
of home ownership and suburbanization, did the
average consumer succumb to the appeal of the
do-it-yourself movement and begin to paint his walls
himself, without the help of the professional painter.
He was thus thrown into an unprecedented intimate
relationship with paint manufacturers and retailers
which, before World War II, had largely dealt with gruff
contractors who knew precisely what they wanted
and didnt need to be seduced by the rhapsodic
poetry of paint names. The de-professionalization of
painting thus gave birth to a whole new literary genre:
the lyrical if infantilized rhetoric with which companies
began to captivate the novice, who insisted that paint
products have enticing names, not just the numeric
formulae printed on each chip.
A spectrum analysis of paint names yields a distinct
vision of the consumer. For one, she is female, as can
be seen in the preponderance of such stereotypically
girlish colors as Ballet Slipper, Pink Fairy, Cinderella,
Debutante Pink, Pussy Willow, and Light Chiffon. For
another, the divisions between her senses are at best
permeable. She perceives the world synesthetically
through a euphoric haze, with sight collapsing into

taste and touch into smell. She not only sees colors,
she hears them (Melodious Mauve, Green Melody),
smells them (Citrus Sachet, Patchouli), feels them
(Dusty Mink, Soft Satin), and tastes them (Tangy Taffy,
Pizza Pie). In order to appeal to the consumer, paint
manufacturers create colors that suggest a nearly
mystical state of arousal, the sensual tempest stirred
up by virtually all contemporary advertisers who sell
products by instilling us with a false vision of the body,
one afflicted with an almost neurasthenic sensitivity.
Paint names quiver with an inexplicably voluptuous
agitation, which we are meant to find contagious, so
electric that our senses become unstable, clouded by
the distortions of hype.
According to this anatomically incorrect vision of
a body that responds to the world far more keenly
than we really do, the primary organ for experiencing
colors is not the optical nerve but the taste bud,
which discerns in colors mouth-watering flavors,
especially those that cause cavities: Orange
Marmalade, Spice Cookie, Crme Brle, Toffee
Crunch, and Belgian Waffle. Paint names are high in
sugar, cholesterol, and empty calories, from Almond
Cream and Applesauce Cake to Red Gumball and
Lime Meringue. Although we live in an extremely
visual culture, the paint-namer is often unable to
describe hues without reference to food, whose
representation poses far greater challenges to the
advertiser, since taste cannot be conveyed through
the available media, whereas colors lend themselves
to television broadcasts and glossy magazines.
Perhaps it is because of the very impossibility of
capturing in words the flavor of an apple or, for that
matter, of a gin and tonic, that the rhetoric of taste
is far more advanced than the rhetoric of color, and

17

18

the paint manufacturer is forced to piggyback on a


more mature commercial language developed by an
industry that has had to overcome insurmountable
obstacles to entice the consumer, who cannot yet
taste the difference between a pixel and a Benday
Dot, an audio frequency and a video signal. Perhaps
also the ineloquence of publicity departments in the
face of the color wheel reveals that a visual culture
like ours has never really examined the assumptions
that structure its experience of the world, or has
come to rely so heavily on images that it has lost
the ability to discuss them and has been reduced
simply to evoking them, as if the mere act of their
presentation were an adequate substitute for
their description and analysis. Our eyes may have
improved as we abandon words for special effects
and computer graphics, but our tongues have
become lazy.
Food names are also a convenient disguise
for the very opposite of food: for the inedible,
for Cobalt 2-Ethylhexanoate, Titanium Dioxide,
2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)-ethanol, and, of course, lead,
all of which cause birth defects, cancer, mental
retardation, sterility, silicosis, and damage to the
liver, lungs, and central nervous system. It is not
coincidental that paint manufacturersthe gourmets
of scrumptious nomenclatureadvise us to use their
products in well-ventilated rooms, keep them out
of the reach of small children, and seek immediate
medical attention if swallowed, ironic precautions
for a trade that names colors after things that are
expressly designed to be swallowed, even devoured,
as well as inhaled like the headiest of perfumes.
The transformation of paint into an ersatz beverage,
snack, or cologne is a way of banishing the specter

of the skull and crossbones, since the ultimate test


of a substances harmlessness is our ability to ingest
it. The spurious connection manufacturers make
between the paint can and the dinner plate provides
an abstract, literary antidote to a very concrete
poison, which seems infinitely less virulent when it is
likened, however rhetorically, to a Hot Toddy, a Crisp
Won Ton, a Lime Tart, and a Sweet Honeydew Melon.
Toxicity wears another mask, the imaginary
ingredient. Colors were once identified by the
substances from which they were made: cochineal,
a brilliant red pigment produced by pulverizing
the bodies of thousands of cochineal insects,
(parasites that live on cacti); azure from azurite, a
blue copper ore first powdered and then washed
in soap, gum, and lye; iris green, made from the
sap of iris flowers thickened with alum; and saffron,
from the golden yellow spice produced by grinding
the dried stigmas of crocus flowers. Now, the paint
manufacturer actively conceals the substances
from which his colors are made. In fact, virtually no
naturally occurring pigments are in use today. With
only a handful of exceptions, colors are created in
laboratories through the artificial combination of
inorganic chemicals fused under abnormally high
temperatures. It should come as no surprise that
there is no sesame in Sesame, tarragon in Tarragon,
or oregano in Oregano, just as there is no okra in
Pickled Okra, pineapple in Pineapple Sage, or brandy
in Brandied Pears. And yet paint companies still hark
back to an age in which names identified a colors
primary ingredient, as if their product line had not
been concocted in Pyrex flasks full of toxic catalytic
agents bubbling over Bunsen burners, but plucked
out of fields (Sunflower, Yellow Begonia), harvested

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

from trees (Fresh Peaches, Honey Maple), or fished


out of the ocean (Pale Coral, Tropical Seaweed
Green). Paint names are small white lies that suggest
the pigment was found, not made, distilled from the
leaves of geraniums and the pulp of papayas, a lyrical
fib that at once allays consumer fears about toxins
and elicits nostalgia for a lost bucolic world.
Whether it is a bundle of palm fronds or a palisade
of granite, the wall, which we have decorated for at
least 9,000 years, chronicles the history of mans fight
against nature. This protective obstruction was once
natures enemy, the barrier that sheltered us from
elements we simultaneously feared and worshiped.
It is now natures tombstone, a victory monument
that shows how completely we have vanquished
our environments, how we no longer fear them but
view them instead as a source of recreation and
refreshment, a luxurious spa in which to soothe
frazzled nerves, a Sylvan Whimsey, a Sunlit Glade, a
Sweet Meadow, a Green Pasture. The wall no longer
excludes nature but rather brings the out-of-doors
inside with us, where we live our lives amidst a color
idyll, a pastoral of Prairie Winds, Summer Rains,
Woodland Ferns, Spring Tulips, and Green Jungles.
The wall is not a barricade but an imaginary window
that has eliminated the division between outside and
inside and repotted our gardens right in our kitchens
and bedrooms, or, perhaps more accurately, built
our kitchens and bedrooms smack on top of our
flowerbeds.
With the rise of cities, the walls real enemy is not
nature but other human beings who lead secretive
lives on the opposite side, lives that are contiguous
with ours but that we seldom see, that make their
presence felt only by means of late-night quarrels,

the distasteful smells of cooking, creaking box


springs, and the constant murmur of flushing toilets.
Overcrowding and urbanization have given the
wall new meaning. Ever since the first loose stone
was piled on top of another, crude partitions have
delineated property and thus served as architectural
extensions of our sense of identity, a way of saying
to our enemies mine, a deed of ownership we sign
in bricks and mortar. As we are herded together by
overpopulation and are forced to abandon the luxury
of detached dwellings for small apartments, the
architectural ramparts of our identities are besieged
by the madding crowd, which would claim its share
of the ever-dwindling space available in which to
lead lives that have become more and more solitary
the closer we live to each other. The poetry of paint
names is based on a misanthropic aesthetic, one that
pretends that our walls are not communal property,
are not shared, that there is nothing behind them
but the green sward, wide open spaces devoid
of other people, vast horizons of Island Dawns,
Arizona Sunsets, Big Skies, Mountain Forests,
Pink Mesas, and Burning Sands. Paint provides us
with a psychological barrier from our neighbors,
a way of achieving a sense of self-containment
and allowing our imaginations to revel in that most
pressing desideratum of urban lifespace, the empty
clearings available for a song on the color preview
palette.
In the Juicy Fruit world in which we live, our sense of
wonder at color has diminished to a state of bored
acceptance, the indifference of the chromatically
privileged to their wealth. Color meant so much more
to us when we lived in black and white rather than
a harshly colorized world, when the purple reserved

19

20

for royalty was painstakingly made from millions of


tiny droplets of ink excreted by shellfish, and when
blue was produced from lapis lazuli imported at
exorbitant cost from Persia, usually in order to paint
the now oxidized robes of the Virgin Mary. In fact,
ever since the Industrial Revolution made colors
commonplace, we not only take color for granted but
are somewhat suspicious of it, and associate garish
clothing in particular with the tastelessness of the
proletariat. Before pigment was mass-produced in
factories, color was a luxury that only the well-to-do
could afford, whereas peasants and workmen were
forced to settle for various shades of browna color
that is, not surprisingly, almost entirely absent from
the medieval and early Renaissance painters palette.
When the common people finally experienced
their color liberation, the class associations of the
spectrum were reversed, and upper- and middleclass men in particular frowned upon the proletariats
unbridled experimentation with gaudy jackets and
flashy cravats.
When I gasped in horror at the riot of colors that I
had so mistakenly created in my rooms, I was in part
responding to this snobbish prejudice against vibrant
hues, to my undemocratic urge to tone down and
mute my color scheme, opting for tasteful pastels
that never draw attention to themselves, that fade,
quite literally, into the woodwork. My fear of making
embarrassing gaffes also stems from the association
I make between bright colors and the marketplace,
which, as Ruskin once libelously said of Whistler,
dashes the paint pot in our faces, affronting us with
acid-pink awnings and flashing neon signs. We
mark the distinction between the public and private

world with stark color differences, retreating from the


kaleidoscope of dots and pixels that assault us on
the streets into the cozy banality of an unassuming
palette.
But perhaps our preference for unassuming earth
tones has an even deeper psychological origin.
Our skittishness before the color excesses of
consumerism may suggest a direct, if entirely
unconscious, correlation between taste and
camouflage, between our love of subdued tones
and our fear of predators, our desire to blend into
the foliage and become all but invisible. The display
of bright colors is a key part of mating rituals, of the
dalliances of birds that unfurl flamboyant plumage or
lizards that inflate iridescent throats. Only when one
is flirting, however, does one risk becoming such an
easy targetand then onlyin hopes of attracting a
very special type of surprise attack, a fatal ambush by
Cupid and his arrows. When I balked before the mess
I had made of my walls, was I in some dark, forgotten
corner of my mind, the reptilian brain that still resides
in the swamps from which we emerged, reacting to
the way I had violated my self-protective invisibility?
Does the evolutionary basis of good taste lie not in
self-expression, as we are taught to believe, but in
self- negation, self-effacement, the eminently practical
desire of the animal to survive in comfort in a lair that
even the most sharp-eyed species, a step or two
higher on the food chain, would be hard-pressed to
spot amid the brambles from which it is deliberately
indistinguishable?

Paint Names

Blog Post: How do Paint Colors Get Their Names?


Jessica Roberts
26

Pick up any paint sample and look at the name. How


do you react? Does it remind you of a distant memory
or is it What the heck where they thinking?!
Paint color names also have a habit of being
vague. Could you tell me what color family SW6707
Narcissus, SW6022 Breathless, or SW6521 Notable
Hue would be found in? Here are the colors above;
can you match them with the correct one? (*Answers
at end of article)
From a linguists point-of-view, English only contains
eleven basic color labels red, blue, yellow, purple,
green, orange, pink, white, black, and grey. There are
obviously many ways to describe a color, but those
are secondary describing words that are subjective
and abstract. So, this brings us back to it: how do
paint colors get their name?
Well, it looks like it all boils down to marketing a
product. The names need to be memorable to leave
an impression on the customer. Most paints have
numbers to categorize them, but no one really stands
in their home and rattles off that part of the paint
name.
If you are standing at your local paint store and
you see Socialite (a reddish purple hue) and you
love having people over, you might pick that shade
over River Rouge, which is very similar if you are
undecided.
Apartment therapy did a poll on if people picked color
based on the name. 54% said sometimes! Names
play a big part in being able to sell the color.

To gain some insight on how one might pick out


names for products, I asked copy editor Melody
Alexander of Deep Group to give a quick and albeit
simple run down. Here is what she had to say about
names leaving the right impressions on consumers
and the way she works:
When a company comes to my agency to name any
product, we try to find the one thing that makes it
stand apart from the competition. As a copywriter, my
job is to dig deep to come up with ideas that show a
deeper meaning. It might be a word that describes
what it is in a different language. A god or goddess
that symbolizes what it may be in some ancient
culture. A word play that hints back to whatever the
product is. Or, in this, it might be a playful name that
subtly ties back to the color.
For example, if were given a bright yellow to name,
I might come back with a list of 30 names that
includes Amarillo (Spanish for yellow), Helios (the
personification of the sun in Greek mythology), or
Duckie for a playful name.
In any case, well come back with a laundry
list of name variations that our team finds best
suit the project specifications. We make our
recommendations, but it the decision ultimately
comes down to our clients, and what it is they want.
In the end, the paint companies are marketing a
product to consumers. They have to be careful not to
use a name twice or duplicate a competitors, while
creating a memorable impression. It is no wonder the
names range from vague to ridiculous. Just for fun,
test more of your naming color power with this online
game.

100 Colors, 100 Writings, 100 Days


Rachel Berger

Every day for one hundred days (from October 30, 2008 to February 6, 2009) I picked a paint chip out of a bag
and responded to it with a short writing. I have selected my favorite forty, titling each writing with the number
of the day it was written (out of 100) and the name of the color from that days paint chip. This project was
generated in Michael Bieruts 100 Day Workshop at the Yale School of Art.

03 Island Coral
When my father came East to visit me, he wanted to
take a day trip to a state hed never seen. How about
Delaware? he said. We settled on Rhode Island. Im
looking forward to being on Rhode Island, he said. It
isnt an island, Dad. No?
04 Winter Cocoa
Election Day two days away, and Im too nervous not
to be superstitious. Is this paint chip telling me well
be inaugurating a black man in January? I stare at it,
stroke its matte surface, absently stick it halfway into
my sleeve. My sweatshirt is nearly the same color, a
warmer grey than I realized.
06 Bee Pollen
At some point in childhood, we start having
memories, born of experience and not of
photographs or family lore. Before I had memories,
our attic had a wasp nest. It was discovered and
fumigated but not removed. My first memories are of
buzzing, of lying awake at night in terror, of the wasps
that had surely returned.
07 Lipstick
Whats the difference between Sarah Palin and the
next vice president of the United States? Lipstick.
08 Candied Yams
I bought my first yam this week. I wanted sweet
potatoes, which sound a bit friendlier, but the store
didnt have any. The yam is quite rooty, forever
looking freshly pulled from the earth something
that is born, grows, and dies in darkness. Its
bumping around my cupboard now, rolling into view
when I take out the sugar canister, tin of anchovies.

Its clumsy and bulky. I rudely shove it back, out of my


way, further into the darkness.
09 Castle Moat
At some point during college, a curious sidebar article
appeared in the Daily News. I clipped it, filed it, and
never found it again. A sad fate for the clipping, but
well-suited to the content: Campus police found a sixfoot-tall marijuana plant growing in the dry ornamental
moat surrounding one of the dorms. It was destroyed.
11 Fresh Greens
My stepfather doesnt like green food. Categorically,
Im pretty sure. Green: leaves of any kind, beans or
peas, sprouts, stalks, things that come in stalks. He
is liable to say ew to things that come in stalks, like
he did when my friend Liz was over and sneezed
at the dinner table. Vegetables. Fruit too. Hell eat a
banana if my mom slips one into his lunch pail, but his
preferred fruit delivery system is a personal fruit pie,
the kind that comes in white waxed paper and seems
itself to be dipped in wax.
12 Springtime Bloom
Connecticut does fall pretty well, and this one has
been no exception. Red-orange-brown-gold trees
burning up the hills. Brisk days, mellow light. Crashing
walks, I drag my feet to pulverize the fallen leaves.
Today was the first that added a punishing wind,
whirling up New Havens open alleys and across
the Green, to the season. It is the first night where
mention of spring seems cruel.
21 Pine Grove
Ian taught me that pine is a soft wood. Use the nail
test, he said. Test its hardness by pressing your

29

30

fingernail into it. He taught me the phrase cobbed


up, which he explained as using your desk to build a
car. He taught me how to use a table saw.
23 Pale Orchid
She was the best reader in third grade. She knew it.
We all knew it.
If we were lucky, we had a thing we were best at.
Josh was the best swimmer. Michael was the best
at math. Liora had the best clothes. I was the tallest.
Being tallest meant I was often line leader, asked to
reach things, mistaken for a fourth grader. But my
superlative was born of dumb luck. Reading was a
real skill. And I hated her for it.
She read in a smug, fluid sing-song, rarely bothered
keying her inflection to aspects of the content,
ignored most punctuation. Speed and precision
were it. One afternoon, her turn came to read from
a text about the tropical rainforest. The tropical rain
forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round
warmth. An average of 50 to 260 inches of rain falls
yearly. etc, etc. It poured out of her in an unrelenting
cascade of perfect. Some of the better-known
epiphytes include ferns, lichens, mosses, cacti,
bromeliads, and orchids. Wait, did she just say
orCHids? The corners of my mouth turned up in a
terrible, triumphant grimace. But its or-Kids.
I mouthed the word. Meanwhile, she stumbled. She
knew something had gone horribly wrong, but it was
too late.
27 Billowy Clouds
Im flying today. PDX to JFK, via ATL. The unasked-for
jag south means that the midday sun shines brightly

through the window of seat 26F. The man in 26D tells


me to close the window shade, first halfway, then
all the way. The sun is in his eyes. My favorite thing
about flying, an unfavored activity, is the window,
landing at night in a city spread out like dying embers,
popping up above big cartoon clouds into the blue.
Surely it is fate, to be staring at a color called billowy
clouds even as my rumpled shade is pulled tight,
blocking all sight of them.
30 Daffodil Yellow
Margarine. Or, more accurately, marge. My brother
and I were furious when our mother tried to
reintroduce butter to the dinner table. Was it like
the chocolate milk in the fridge and the donuts
on the counter, treats we gulped down sulkily
sweet reminders of our fathers fresh absence from
the house? No, I think we just liked margarine.
Fleischmanns. It came in a white plastic tub with a
translucent lid, perfect for storing leftover cranberry
sauce or beads. Like its tub, marge was shiny
and molded. A cheery, synthetic daffodil yellow.
Compared to marge, butter was just a dumpy, boxy
old thing. Always too hard or too soft, didnt taste like
much.
31 Warm Embrace
Take some of the warmth out of this, the dusty
blushing rose of an old ladys eye shadow, and this
is a color I wear every day. I am wearing it now, and I
wore it yesterday. Without the het-up pinkish hue, its
grey. A shift from one overcooked meat to another,
mutton to triangle roast. Tongue to chop.
32 Apple Orchard
People love their Granny Smiths, eat them like meals.

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

They chomp and slosh around in there with such


gusto, like its meat, like theyre horses, like someone
might take it. I dont. Granny Smiths have too much
fight in them. I love a challenging fruit, but Granny
Smiths are sour and hard, and the sound of someone
biting into one gives me the chills.
38 Lemon Tart
Friday, I drank big cold gulps of red wine from a pint
glass Id covered loosely with plastic wrap and put in
the fridge, not thinking so logically after Thanksgiving
dinner last week. I drank a glass of water. I drank
another glass of water. I drank a cocktail Julie made
with Pimms, ginger ale, and a long lovely strip of
lemon peel. When it was done, I sucked the peel
and then left it at the bottom of my glass. I drank a
whiskey and coke. I drank another whiskey and coke.
I drank whiskey.
39 Par Four Green
We went to Palm Springs every year of my life until
Maurice died. He died there, that paradisiacal oasis
in the living desert, where the streets are called Dinah
Shore and Bob Hope and where the many branches
of Bank of America are all irresistible shades of
California modern, far away from his cold flat home
on the Canadian prairie. When they could swing
it, he and Cynthia rented a condo right on a golf
course. Sometimes golf balls flew through the kitchen
window, which I found terrifying and everyone else
seemed to think hilarious and exhilarating. I hated
those immaculate, hazardous lawns but loved the
beds of snapdragons that lined them. When I heard
Maurice was dead, my first thought was, At last! My
grandfather has been fatally struck by a golf ball.

43 Almond Cream
My boss at the museum was a grannyish 30-yearold whose ill-fitting slacks gave her what she called
diaperbutt. Her Subaru wagon had heated seats.
Do you want me to turn your butt on? shed say
when she gave me rides home in the winter. Her
husband was a chef, so she and I often ended up
talking about food. She told me how hollandaise
sauce was made. She told me that cooks love
junk food. She liked her meat extremely rare, Just
introduce it to the flame, shed say to waiters, feeling
sophisticated and hungry. She kept pounds of raw
almonds in her desk. She had the most unbelievable
skin.
47 Pageant Song
My mother wore a periwinkle dress to her second
wedding. And her second husband wore a
periwinkle tie. It was a casual, celebratory affair,
heavy on beer and light on ceremony. As was only
natural, my brother was thirsty. But he was not yet
twenty-one, and the bartenders were strict. He
became something of a cause clbre for the more
sympathetic friends and relatives. They shuttled
pints to him as he complained about the situation.
They didnt know hed come armed with a fifth of
Jack Daniels, just in case. There is a picture of him
from the day, huge smile, arms draped around
the newlyweds, as near as hes ever stood to his
stepfather.
48 Moss Landing
Ken Keseys Sometimes a Great Notion opens with
a description of the frightening, dripping, verdancy of
Oregon. It continues for many pages, and its all true.

In Portland, moss grows on the roofs of the houses,


ferns sprout from cracks in the sidewalk, even the
best maintained streets and buildings are prone to
sliding around during the dark wet winter. One time
in college, I came home for a holiday, and there were
huge gray mushrooms growing out of my bedroom
carpet.
51 Mellow Yellow
In seventh grade science class, we studied drugs.
Hard drugs. We were each assigned a drug
(mine was LSD). We zealously researched its
scientific name (Lysergic acid diethylamide), type
(semisynthetic psychedelic), solubility (fat), cultural
reference (Huxley, Leary, Beatles), and most useful
of all, street names (Acid, Window Pane, Electric
Koolaid, Blotter, Doses, Tabs, Trips, Purple Haze,
Sugar Cubes, Paper Mushrooms, Rainbows, Smilies,
White Lightening, Mellow Yellow).
52 Glacial Tint
Im stranded at my fathers house, what Joanna calls
the Greenway Inn, on Greenway Avenue, way up
in the West Hills. It snowed all night and is snowing
now. Seven, ten, thirteen inches. Never in my life has
it snowed this much in Portland. When I describe
the white carnage to people in Connecticut and New
York, they are not nearly impressed enough. They
think Portland is like I think Denver is, snowy, cold,
mountainous. I was shocked when I finally visited
Denver and it was flat and sunny.
55 Treasure Isle
A color like the banged up Pyrex bowl we got from
Second-Hand Rose, the roadside junk store in
northern Minnesota on the way back from the cabin

we rented a couple summers ago with Marc and


Esther. The ladies at the checkout blessed us and
wrapped the little bowl in five layers of newsprint.
But the bowl is bluer. And white on the inside. Slightly
translucent with a blue cast the way some people
like to describe skim milk.
56 Magic Moment
Freshman year, Dan and I tutored at a local junior high
school. A sophomore named Sascha coordinated the
tutoring program. Each of us had a secret: Dan was
fulfilling the community service requirement of the
MIP hed picked up in Denver over the summer. I was
in love with Dan. Sascha, who walked us over to the
school each week, was covered in terrible bruises.
She had shiners, a swollen lip, purple welts on her
arms. Some days, she had a slight limp. She never
mentioned it. This continued through the fall. Dan and
I grew worried but didnt know how to ask, didnt ask.
After winter break, Sascha quit the program, Dan had
done his hours, my ardor was cooling. I never saw
Sascha again. Julie knew her a bit. They were on the
rugby team together.
57 Cool Melon
Only three times in its hundred-year history has the
Crayola company changed the name of a crayon.
Prussian Blue became Midnight Blue in 1958 and
Indian Red was renamed Chestnut in 1999, both in
response to requests from educators. In 1962, the
company voluntarily changed Flesh to Peach, partially
in response to the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.
61 Watermelon Pink
In certain Brooklyn bars, many liquors come infused:
Thai chili-infused vodka, vanilla bean-infused rum,

candied ginger-infused bourbon. This is a pricy


inversion of a trick from high school, where we
infused many things with cheap liquor: whiskeyinfused Diet Pepsi, grain alcohol-infused Jell-O, and
the classic vodka watermelon.

didnt I couldnt. If Hillary Clinton had had a Bat


Mitzvah, I like to think its what she would have worn.
That powdery greeny-blue, if there had been a giant
Tiffanys box on the bima, it would have looked like it
sired me.

Watermelons were most often treated this way on


car camping trips out the Sandy River or down to
Bend, wherever there was a stream to sit by and an
afternoon to kill. The boys would hack a watermelon
in half, float it in the icy water to cool off, and dump
in half a handle of Dubra or Bukoff or Kumchatka.
The melons heavy pink flesh could take a fantastic
amount of additional liquid. By the time the melon
was cold, the alcohol had trickled to every sweet
cell. We used spoons if we had them. I still love
watermelon, but I cant stand vodka.

65 Sweet Truffle
The other great suit of my young adulthood was the
debate suit. It was chocolate brown. Under it, I wore
a pale blue polyester button-down with a wonderfully
wide collar. I left the shirts top three buttons open
between rounds and only two open during a debate.
I walked from classroom to classroom in brown
Birkenstock clogs, taking bigger, bolder strides than
the skirt was built to accommodate. The slit ripped
again and again, no matter how much my mom
reinforced it.

62 Freesia Purple
Sonia had dry, mousy hair and big bright eyes. She
wore boots with pointy toes, tight stonewashed jeans,
and pale ribbed turtlenecks. She was one of the tall
girls of junior high, so we shared a moderate sense of
sisterhood and played on the same basketball team.
But she was boy crazy and rode horses and always
looked startled. She wore makeup. She took dance
instead of gym. Sonia was girly. I thought my tallness
put dancing and horses and boys out-of-reach. I was
too mortified to experiment with applying pastels and
open, innocent expressions to my face, choosing
instead to be ironic and good at math.

66 Lady Luck
This paint chip smells a bit like money. I wonder if
they all smell that way.

Taylor. The shoulder pads were between the lining
and the shell, so if Id wanted to take them out I

68 Mermaid Treasure
This color reminds me of my mother. Its not anything
like the color of her eyes, which are brown. She had
a blue car once, a 1986 Toyota Celica, but it was
a pale-steely blue. She doesnt wear lots of blue,
prefers warm colors. She doesnt swim much, in
pools or at the ocean. We didnt have plates or mugs
or a tablecloth this color. I look at look into this
flat deep aqua color and think of her and dont know
why.

me where we are, but I cant see the road signs.
72 Cool Aloe
In sixth grade, I grew six inches and my complexion
went all to hell. In the basketball team photo, I tower
over the others, my eyes and chin glowing fiery
red. Trying to be helpful, my mother took me to the
Clinique counter. There, a woman in a sexy lab coat
asked me a series of questions and diagnosed me
with combination skin. My mother bought everything
the woman prescribed: a bar of anti-blemish
soap, spot-treatment gel with salicylic acid, liquid
foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow, lip gloss,
lipstick, all of it packed in elegant pale green boxes,
each sized precisely to house the tube inside.

80 Clover Brook
In the fall of 2006, spinach was implicated in a deadly
E. coli outbreak. According to the FDAs final report
on the outbreak, more than 200 people got sick
and three people died. Bagged spinach was pulled
from grocery store shelves. People who hated the
nutrient-rich green felt justified, even smug. People
who fed it to their children to make them grow up
healthy and strong felt betrayed. In the end, the
bacteria was traced to cattle manure found on
pastures surrounding a spinach field in Salinas Valley,
California.
81 Exotic Bloom
My parents didnt hire a photographer for my Bat

Mitzvah. Our neighbor, Chuck Saxe, offered to do


it. Chuck was a software engineer at Tektronix and
an amateur shutterbug. He arrived at the party
toting two cameras, four lenses, a tripod and flash.
We encouraged him to grab a bite before he got to
work. Minutes later, Chuck was quite sure hed been
poisoned by the edible flower in the dinner salad and
went immediately home to bed. His wife Harriet left
with him, the poor woman had to haul all that gear.
84 Straw Hat
I think I lived in a room, or maybe a whole apartment,
painted this color. Is this the color of Julies
apartment? My sense of recognition is as strong as
my sense of disorientation. I dont like this color, but I
know this color, have awakened to this color, watched
the sun crawl over it, nailed a picture hanger into it.
87 Desert Sunrise
Grandma Cynthia made a thousand paintings of
the Palm Springs desert, the blooming, living scrub
edging the mountains beyond the golf course. Early in
the morning, before Grandpa Maurice lumbered out
onto the green for the first game of the day, she drove
into the desert, away from the chilly dew coming off
the swimming pools, from the orderly roadbeds of
bougainvillea clumped around a single palm, from
Gerald Ford Drive, to take the pictures that would
become paintings. She wasnt one of the heroic,
romantic landscape painters, in wind and sun, her
canvas lashed to the hard earth. Painting was done
in the studio, surrounded by treasured views of a hot,
alien land.
92 Liquid Blue
Last night, the liquid was gray and white and brown

It tore the sole off one of my boots and soaked


through two thick jackets. It tricked me. It pushed me
around. This morning, the liquid is solid. And more
treacherous still.
96 Autumn Arrival
In my second grade class picture, I am the only
girl in pants. But its not like I dressed down. My
pants are pale orange and white checked, a daring
compliment to my shirt, which is a rayon button-down
with pictures of the planets on it. I stand out from
the crowd: tall and skinny, a sandy bowl cut, orange
pants.
97 Tropical Holiday
Coming back to New Haven on the first off-peak
train of the morning. The doors open at Westport. Its
snowing lightly. The computer is warm on my lap, but
the blue cast of the screen makes me realize Im cold.
Someone has written OBESE VAGINA in permanent
marker on the wall next to my seat.

Historical & Traditional Paints

Are Posh Paints Really Worth It?


Lesley Gillilan

Heritage palette: paints and emulsions from the likes of


Fired Earth and Farrow & Ball can bring the colours of
a bygone era to your home
They may be curious and expensive, but as paint
anorak Kevin McCloud tells Lesley Gillilan, there is
good reason for the popularity of heritage colours
The trend for so-called heritage paint collections
has been around long enough to be deemed tired, or
even tiresome. Yet our appetite for the paint finishes of
yesteryear - the evoked Georgian colours, the chalky
emulsions and oily eggshells, the curious names
(Arsenic, Drab, Babys Breath, Dead Salmon) - seems
healthier than ever.
Farrow & Ball, or F&B, now sells more paint in a
week than it did in a year during the early days of
its long-standing National Trust partnership (which
ended a year ago). And this is despite a crowd of rival
companies now serving up pots of posh paint.
Aside from Fired Earth (which has ditched its V&A
archive collection in favour of a balanced traditionalmodern palette developed by Kevin McCloud), there
are paint ranges by Sanderson, Zoffany and Designers
Guild. There are niche-market designer paints, with
Cath Kidston and Kelly Hoppen among those to put
their names to colour charts.
Boutique paint-maker Little Greene has enough faith
in the longevity of the historic paint trend to launch a
range of truly authenticated historical paint colours
in association with English Heritage. Researched and
developed by historian Patrick Baty, Little Greenes
Colours of England collection offers a spectrum of
60 period shades from Georgian to post-war. They

include Shrimp and Orange Aurora (from the 1950s),


Middle Brown (a British Standard paint colour of the
1930s) and, from the Regency palette, Blue Verditer
(an English colour found during analysis of the
entrance hall of Kenwood House, London). The
coverage of each paint in the range (matt emulsion, flat
oil, limewash, distemper) is said to be excellent.
But does the 21st-century home really need a palette
of 19th-century shades? And, irrespective of its
provenance, is this, or any other specialist brand
really worth the extra money? With the average
price hovering at about 22 for 2.5 litres of emulsion,
wouldnt it make more sense to slap on the B&Q, or
get Dulux to whip up a copy-cat shade? A 2.5-litre pot
from B&Qs Colours range costs a mere 9.98.
McCloud, a self-confessed paint anorak, is
unequivocal in his defence of posh paints. Having
used many, many different brands over the years, it is
very clear to me that the more you pay, the better the
paint, he says. Cheap paint has more water in it, less
pigment and less binder. Thus, as a rule, the more
expensive paint covers better and lasts longer. It is
also more environment-friendly, being lower in Volatile
Organic Compounds.
There is a place for cheap paint, and McCloud
concedes he has painted his own kitchen in bog
ordinary trade white emulsion, but the cheaper paints
are made with synthetic pigments. And pigment, he
explains, is what gives paint its quality and depth of
colour.
Traditional pigments tend to be made of rocks and
minerals, earth and clay, he says. And consequently
they are impure, and rather complex. The more
complex the pigmentation, the more interesting the

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

colour. It gives redolence and depth, and you get


undertones - colours which subtly change in different
lights.
The range he created for Fired Earth is traditionally
pigmented but, as he points out, the colours are not
historical. And they are not meant to be. In fact, he
is sceptical about the justification for using simulated
historic colours. Unless its for a Grade I listed house,
with a particularly important story attached to its paint
colours, its a lot of hogwash, he says. One can say
that this was a colour used in this particular house, on
a certain day in, say, 1818, but the colour has probably
faded, or gone darker, or yellowed. Its very difficult to
ascribe a particular nuance of colour to a room for a
particular date.
Paint finishes are something else. F&B, who are keen
to call their paints traditional rather than historic,
have used the same basic recipes since the 1930s
(and still produce distempers and even lead paints for
grade I and grade II listed buildings). But to describe
Sugar Bag Light as like the blue of paper used for
lining drawers in the late 18th century is hardly a claim
for historical accuracy. The English Heritage range,
however, gets as close as it can to authentic period
shades.
English Heritage wanted a comprehensively
researched palette of paints, says Baty, who runs
Paper and Paints in Chelsea. Claiming genuine
provenance, they are designed to suit appropriate
period houses, but its okay to mix Georgian and
Victorian in a 1930s semi. What people do with these
paints is entirely up to them, he says. Choosing paint
is like tasting wine, perfume or anything else which
relies on sensory perception - its an individual choice.

And what a bewildering choice. We are besieged


by brands and rafts of new technologies, agrees
McCloud. There are paints for decking, paints for
fencing, paint for the furniture, another one for the
shed. But what it boils down to, is do you like the
colour? And if you dont, its not exactly a disaster.
McCloud says that even at the high end of the price
spectrum, its still the cheapest way to introduce
colour into the home.

Fashion plays a big part in our colour choice. For
three years of the 1990s, Farrow & Balls bestselling colour was Sudbury Yellow. Now, usurped by
a more popular blue-green palette, it doesnt even
feature in its top 30. Reds sell better in the winter,
and yellow is predicted to make a comeback.

20th Century Colour Trends/Palettes

1900s
70

In the early part of the 19th century, women were


getting their first taste of emancipation, and though
it didnt last long, it did have an influence on colour
primarily as evidenced by female undergarments.
Lingerie began showing up in opalised pinks and pale
pinky- beige tones, marking he beginning of romantic,
sexy colours used in underwear fashion, which had
previously been seen as purely utilitarian. Women
began using cosmetics, too, and the first blushes
of rouge became popular. Face powders took on a
tint for the first time and were available in a variety of
colours to match complexions.
Until the beginning of World War I in 1914, light
colours were popular light green, pale blue and
what was called swooning mauve. During this time,
colours were often differentiated as city colours and
the more utilitarian country colours, which included a
lot of brown and tan.
The Art Nouveau movement had a tremendous
influence on colour and iridescence, as did the

invention of the electric light bulb. Simply put, colour


usage changed because electric lights illuminated
colour and one could see it better than under gas
light.
There was a bright explosion of colour brought
on by the popularity of the Ballet Russe. Similarly,
the Fauvists using shades of scarlet and apple
green caused a colour explosion of their own. The
Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists indulged in
floral hues of yellow, orange, teal, periwinkle, violet,
rust and of course green, which ultimately influenced
the colours of interior design and clothing for the
wealthy.
During the war, colour all but disappeared. Colourful
clothing still existed, but it was difficult to obtain and
was available only if one was willing to pay the hefty
prices.

20th Century Colour Trends/Palettes

1920s
72

The lingering effects of the war could be felt in the


early 1920s as evidenced by the prevalence of
subdued colours- partly due to the high cost of dyes
and colourful clothing during the late 1910s and partly
a reaction against all the bright colours that were so
popular in the mid- 1910s.
In the 1920s, women enjoyed more freedom than
ever before and the timing couldnt be more perfect
for French fashion designer Coco Chanel to debut on
the fashion scene. Her designs influenced fashion,
notable for her unique blend of minimal, modern
thinking. Colours in the Chanel palette, which spread
throughout the world in all facets of design, defines
the minimalist palette and includes beige, taupe, grey
and black.
An entire range of pale colours was also dominant
including celery, pale pink, lavender, powder blue,
and light green. Simultaneously, a lot of glitter came

into play and the Art Deco movement, which had a


huge influence on colour, ushered in a lot of bronze,
chrome, steel and glass.
Despite the popularity of minimalist colours and
metallic shades, bright colour didnt totally disappear
in the 1920s. Colour was used, but used sparingly
and typically softer shades prevailed. Bright colour
took on the Japanese-born tradition of being used
occasionally as a spot or accent colour.

20th Century Colour Trends/Palettes

1930s
74

When we think of the 1930s, colours of the Great


Depression come to mind sombre grey, black and
brown. But this palette was really only prominent in
the early part of the decade 1930 to 1931 when
bleak colours reflected the impact of the economic
reality. Between 1932 and 1933, the pendulum
swung back and the opposite of dark colours, which
became a total absence of colour white became
popular because of its association with sunshine.
In fact, it was during this time that people began
pursuing suntans in order to get that healthy look.
White was the colour that best showed off a good
tan. The trend carried into interior decorating, too.
Suddenly, against popular convention, trendsetters
decorated interiors with all white, white-on-white
themes.
White cars prominent among the wealthy debuted
in the decade in startling contrast to the black
automobiles which were the norm.

White also evolved in to the popularity of off-whites,


ivories and soft pastels, never more evident in the
movies of the era that boasted platinum bombshell
Jean Harlow undulating in satin sinuous gowns of
those colours.
Gilding, seen on furniture legs and figurines, was also
started in the 30s.
Ultimately, however, one can only experience so
much white before the need for colour began
creeping back into the palette. By the mid-30s, lots
of colours were used, most notably in unusual and
complex combinations. For instance periwinkle blues
were shown with taupe or brown and Dijon yellows
were combined with charcoal grey. Many of the
colour palettes were borrowed from the great ocean
liners of the era with their sumptuous dcor, which
was notable for its complex colour palettes.

75

The era saw the first suggestions of a cocktail dress


with the introduction of the chic little black dress. The
1930s is also known for the debut of shocking pink.
In all, it was an era of bountiful colour use and
experimentation. In those compressed ten years, a
lot happened with colour. It is the decade between
two very important events the Depression and
World War II, says Leatrice Eiseman, director,
Pantone Colour Institute. Had it not been for the war,
the decade would have sparked a lot more colour
invention.

20th Century Colour Trends/Palettes

1940s
76

For the most part, colours in the 1940s took on a


dusted quality, as dyestuffs were increasingly hard
to get during the war years and the dyes that were
more available were largely composed of grey. Gray,
itself, was prevalent in light and dark shades, while
colours like yellow, orange, mauve, navy, and green
appeared chalky, muted, and unsaturated. However,
the decade didnt start out this way.
Going into the forties, colours were bright; cherry
red lipsticks accented lively colours of hues of pink
and yellow. But, as the war escalated, colours began
to lose their vitality since the bulk of dyes, which
were manufactured in Germany, were not available.
Ultimately, French fashion designers came to the
rescue, making fashion statements out of the colours
that were abundant olive, khaki, navy, and black.
Moreover, because dyestuffs were rationed and the
availability of textiles was limited, the style and lines
of clothing changed, too. Skirts became shorter and

clothing became slimmer and more tailored out of


necessity to minimize the fabric required.
As the war dragged on, the only place one would
see colour was in the hand knit caps, gloves, and
sweaters that were made on the home front from
leftover clothing. Drab military uniforms and civilian
fashions were often accented with spots of homemade colour. Of course, throughout the war,
cosmetics were considered a morale booster, and
shades of pink and red, the latter for lips and nails,
continued to be popular throughout the decade.
Naturally, throughout the war, a countrys colours
signalled patriotism and the brighter the better. In
the U.S., shades of vibrant red , white and blue were
prevalent.
By the latter part of the decade, colour made a
comeback in-of all things- resort clothing. The
thinking was that summertime clothing was less

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

77

expensive, so wild, vibrant colours were less of a


fashion and investment risk. Popular tropical colours
ranged from tangerine and yellow to vibrant teal,
fuchsia, and purple to true blue and turquoise. The
advent of these colours paved the way for the colour
palette of the 1950s.

1950s
78

Men went back to work after the war years and


women returned to the home, bringing about an
onslaught of femininity in all things as increasingly
more products and services were marketed to
women as homemakers: home appliances, cars and
fashion. Pink, almost universally regarded as the
epitome of femininity was a popular colour, but its
significance went much deeper than aesthetics after
the war weary, rationed, and subdued decade of
the forties. After so much deprivation in everything,
including colour, pinks bright liveliness signified
optimism and came to represent what the decade of
the 1950s was all about.
Pink appeared in numerous variations from peachypink to pale pink, medium pink, powder pink and
cool pink. Shocking pink, popular in the 1930s,
made a come back in a new incarnation: hot pink
and cosmetic companies like Revlon ran advertising
featuring the entire product range in hot pink.

Think pink became a catch phrase and even


Hollywood turned pink, featuring an entire scene in
the motion picture Funny Face, starring Fred Astaire
and Audrey Hepburn, in that shade. When pink
needed a partner turquoise blue rose to the occasion
as its perfect compliment the colours were all
part of a trend toward pastelling, and appeared
in everything including two-toned cars such as
Studebakers and Nash Ramblers. Other light cheery
shades gaining momentum in the 1950s colour
palette include pistachio and bright yellow.
Amid a rainbow of pastels, black re-emerged as an
influential colour; it became chic to wear black and
it appeared once again as the black cocktail dress
and as skinny Capri slacks that looked great when
accented with brightly coloured tops. Technology
was making more vibrantly coloured dyes possible,
and the decade saw the beginning of fluorescent
colours. Lime green was introduced in the 1950s.

79

This introduction was followed by other bright colours


born out of the beginnings of RocknRoll yellow,
raspberry, fuchsia, purple, teal, and Kelly green.
Orange was also seen for the first time and marked
the first indication of the psychedelic era that was to
come in the 1960s.

20th Century Colour Trends/Palettes

1960s
80

There was an explosion of colour in the 1960s due


to new technology that made a range of dyestuffs
available to the masses. This innovation, coupled
with an entire new range of synthetic fabrics and
a renewed interest in cotton fabrics that took dye
well., fuelled the publics fascination with colour that
went beyond textiles and finishes to creating unique
colour combinations in everything from snow boots to
raincoats.
Coloured pantyhose debuted to compliment
mini-skirts, and the two appeared in a variety of
combinations. Fashion designers Pucci and Mary
Quant led this trend, and the result was that colour
appeared everywhere; items that had previously been
black, khaki or nude, burst onto the scene in neverbefore seen shades of red, blue, yellow and green.
During the late 1960s, the popularity of the ethnic
look inspired colour combinations in all walks of life.
Blue jeans were paired with Indian tops that sported
a riot of colours.

Colourful peasant jewellery, bead-work , and


macram plant hangers and belts were popular.
Women started lining their eyes with kohl pencils. The
ethnic look gave the masses permission to do things
that were widely innovative, and the trend took its
colour cue from African, Oriental and Indian clothing,
arts and crafts.
Meanwhile, the music scene and drug culture
brought about the psychedelic era with a fluorescent
explosion of colour: blue, lime green, vibrant yellow,
fluorescent orange, fluorescent red, fluorescent pink
and violet and magenta.
Late in the decade, orange and varying shades of
golden yellow generated a stir after appearing on the
cover of the Beatles album Yellow Submarine. These
warm shades ranged from goldenrod and orange
to golden yellow, and varying hues of pumpkin. This
seldom seen colour palette rapidly became popular
with interior designers. By the early 1970s, these
shades could be seen in the best homes with the
latest dcor.

1970s
82

The seventies introduced the ecology movement and


the populace turned to earth tones partly out of
their concern for the environment and partly because
people were visually exhausted by the frenetic colour
usage that marked the sixties.
At the same time, technological advancements
made even more pigments and dyestuffs available,
opening the arena to even more colour possibilities.
This time, the advances impacts men as much as
much as previous innovations had influenced women.
Men gave up their white business shirts and for the
first time started wearing coloured shirts with coordinating ties. Soft earthy desert-inspired colours
inspired by the Californian lifestyle and climate were
also prominent.
However, if one colour palette marked the decade, it
was that of earth tones, which are remembered today
mostly for their use in kitchens, where small ad large
appliances were given industry standard names that

seventies homeowners shudder at today: avocado,


harvest gold and burnt orange.
As the decade wore on, the colours got deeper, and
included bronze as well as various shades of brown
and russet, deep red and dark blue.

1980s
84

By the 1980s, the buying public had had their fill of


earth tones ad the colours were no longer selling
in anything clothing or appliances. New colour
palettes emerged, but splintered into to two groups:
Those favouring mauve, teal, and grey, which quickly
became the principal neutral colour of the decade:
and those who leaned toward the Nordic influence,
a palette featuring an array of cool blues and blue
greens.
These colours remained popular until the mid-eighties
when people had been mauved, tealed, and greyed
to death and demanded new colours. It seemed that
the lifecycle of colour palettes was decreasing.
During this time, the womens movement was on the
rise and fashion was all over the place skirts were
long and short; women sopped following fashion
edicts and wore what looked best on them. The
trend carried into colour as well and people thought
of colour palettes in terms of what they liked. The

result was a backlash on the idea of a person being


colour-printed, a trend that gained prominence in the
seventies and pigeon-holed a person as a particular
season, which in turn determined what colours they
should wear. Instead, consumers began recognising
the psychological aspects of colour.
The was less dogma and more freedom and colour
choices were now based on the question: How does
it make you feel?
Arising out of this trend was the popularity of colour
born of the American West (also called Santa Fe
colours) and those inspired by the film Out of Africa
namely peach, pink and coral, turquoise, sand, ivory
and lavender.
These colours, previously thought to be exclusively
feminine, permeated into mens fashion and
accessorise as well, a trend that was globalised
in such television shows as Miami Vice, which

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

85

popularised the Florida look. During the mid-to late1980s, men could be seen sporting colours they had
never worn before.
Amid all the pastels, black made a resurgence. In the
U.S., the Reagans were in the White House, and due
in part of Nancy Reagans influence, the pair brought
back the glamour of black. Black limousines and
black taffeta defined grandeur and luxury.
Blacks new cache translated to interior design as
well, where it came to be associated with the hightech look. Chrome, steel and grey were accented with
black to capture the newest look in modern, up-todate kitchen technology. It became elegant to have a
black phone again, which had not been popular since
colour invaded the home in the 1950s and 1960s.
The popularity of Star Wars Darth Vader also had a
lot to do with making black elegant and sexy and a
new descriptive for black was born: tough chic.

Black was popular in the late 1980s and continued to


be so into the nineties, but for other reasons. Now it
was popular because the economy took a nosedive,
and in such times, black tends to rise above other
colours as the shade of preference. Bright colours
also went away, while environmentalism was
popularised. Beige, off-white and ivory gained favour
for their no-colour look and perfectly showed-off
natural cottons and showed up as white, almond, and
stainless steel appliances.
But the decade was not without its hallmark colour.
If one colour had to be chosen to define the decade
it would be hunter green. Green was symbolic of
nature and even the word green entered into our
speech patterns in phraseology that harkened to
the environment and ecology as a whole.
By the middle part of the decade, the economy
started to spike, so colour came back into public life
in full force. While colours had never disappeared

entirely, they had become less saturated, and now


they re-emerged with a different hue. Between 1995
and 1997, yellow-green, chartreuse, and lime green
debuted in plastics and in clothing. Brights came
back in every colour form from yellow, orange and red
to violet, periwinkle, and pink. During this time, green
appeared in numerous incarnations and remained
popular, as did black, which never lost its power and
showed no signs of disappearing.
As the turn of the century approached, a new
colour appeared on the scene that was to become
associated with the year 2000. It was a shade aptly
named millennium blue, a hue, which was forecasted
to be the colour that would define the early twentyfirst century.

Paint Names Articles

The Poetry of Paint: As the Names Make It Clear, You No Longer Buy A Gallon of
Paint; You Buy A Life-Shaping Experience Lori Borgman
274

I bought a gallon of paint recently. If this current trend


in naming paints continues, hardware stores will need
to bring in upholstered chairs and designer coffee
bars. You cant be sure if youre reading paint chips or
free verse.
Gone are the days of Ivory, Pink, and Peach. You can
find something along the lines of peach all right, but
it will be Peach Burst, Peach Fuzz, Peach Slush, or
Peachy Keen, not plain old Peach.
A lot of your paints have taken on two names:
Summer Bliss, Mussel Shell, Morning Fog,
Twilight Sky, Shoreline Tan, Beach Umbrella, and
Midsummers Breeze. At times, you cant be sure
whether you are purchasing paint or a timeshare on
the coast.
The names make it clear that the science of paint
has evolved. You no longer simply buy a gallon of
paint; you buy an entire life-shaping paint experience:
Sand Between Your Toes, Midnight Bonfire, Bed n
Breakfast, Spring Romance, Evening in Paradise, and
Still Night. All that and a free wooden stir stick.
Some of the paint names sound like book titles of
cheesy novels.
La Fonda Moss Rose: The matriarch of the Fonda
family is determined to build a shelter for wayward
girls but soon finds herself singing on top of a player
piano in a Wild West saloon to pay the rent.
New England Brown: A secretive history professor
with worn elbow-patch jackets, a mind for detail, and
an eye for the ladies brings more than Ivy League
scholarship to a small town in Maine.

Canyon Echo: A man and his horse, fleeing


the ghosts of a painful past, seek solace, but
inadvertently find danger, excitement, and adventure
in untamed Arizona.
Even the enticing storybook names for paint wont be
enough someday. Paint companies will have to up the
ante by having microchips with sound bites attached
to paint chips describing the nuances of the hue;
the history of the name; the healing qualities of the
color; and what the different finishes can do for blood
pressure, stress, and insomnia.
The South is vastly overrepresented in paint names,
with the likes of Southern Mist, Southern Vine,
Southern Breeze, and Southern Surf. The rest of the
country doesnt get a fraction of the paint names the
South does, and the shame of it is they are totally
nondescript. Who knows what color Southern Breeze
is?
They should use names people have a ready handle
on, like: Southern Fried Chicken (golden brown),
Southern Pecan Pie (golden brown), and Southern
Biscuits (golden brown). There are at least 15 golden
browns in every paint line, and any good restaurant
in the South should be able to provide names for at
least a dozen of them.
You should also know that the longer the name of
the paint--Gray Timber Wolf, Fire on the Mountain,
Morgan Hill Gold, Icing on the Cake--the more it will
cost you.
I was looking for a strong yet dignified yellow and
had narrowed the search to Caribbean Canary,
Dandelion Wish, Four-star Sorbet, and a few others.

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

I was feeling pretty heady about my cultured and


sophisticated choices. I asked the young man mixing
paint what shade he thought the elegant Elizabethan
Yellow looked like.
Mustard, he said.

Death by Chocolate: What a way to go! Just one


of the best names and best paint colors
recommended by House Beautiful designers.

well, there was never a second thought back


then. -Charlotte Moss
BENJAMIN MOORE MILK SHAKE 1165

Emotional
I think its funny they named this EMOTIONAL,
because color in general is so emotional scientists
are always doing these studies about what a red
room or a blue room does to you. This is a brick
orange that feels energetic, confident, and protective
no mental health therapy required here! I thought
this small coatroom needed a strong color to
make it an individual space of its own, not just an
afterthought. It seemed slightly risky to use it, which
might be why I liked it so much. -Thomas Jayne
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS EMOTIONAL SW6621

Going to the Chapel


Even though Im known for a soft neutral palette, I
keep getting hired by people who love color. I can do
both, and I explain it like this: I am married to beige,
but I have affairs with color. GOING TO THE CHAPEL
is just like a marriage comfortable, livable, with
just a hint of gray. Actually, that sort of describes my
husband. A super-neutral, safe color you can stay
with for a long time. -Phoebe Howard
BENJAMIN MOORE GOING TO THE CHAPEL 1527

Dorian Gray
Remember how Oscar Wildes Dorian Gray never
got old? Neither does this color. I use it again and
again whenever I want atmosphere. DORIAN GRAY is
the palest blue-gray you can imagine, soft and subtle,
like a mist. You hardly notice its a color at all. Dreamy
in a bedroom theres nothing jarring about it, and
you can mix any color with it. -Whitney Stewart
C2 PAINT DORIAN GRAY C2-478
Milkshake
This is a warm taupe the color a chocolate milk
shake turns once youve stirred in the whipped
cream. MILK SHAKE brings back fond memories
drive-in movies, football games, cheerleading, double
dates, the prom when there were only three
channels on the TV! A chocolate shake after school

Sweet Caroline
SWEET CAROLINE...Da-da-dah. Bet youre already
singing the old Neil Diamond song. Im a Southern
guy, and it takes me back to summer days in the
convertible with the radio playing. Cute name, but
its a sophisticated color a crisp, pale green with a
gray undertone. It makes everything else in the room
come alive. -David Mitchell
BENJAMIN MOORE SWEET CAROLINE 478
Mouses Back
I probably shouldnt admit this, but sometimes when
its down to two or three colors and I cant decide,
the one with the best name wins. I love MOUSES
BACK, not that I have a thing for rodents, but behind
the odd name is the most amazing brownish olivegray. Mellow it out with creams and dark browns or
kick it up with teal or burnt orange. -Jeff Andrews
FARROW & BALL MOUSES BACK 40

Get Back Jack


GET BACK JACK sounds sorta Sammy Davis Las
Vegas 1970s, which is fabulous enough in its own
right. But the color the deepest of purples with just
enough red to give it some oomph is quite elegant,
and would be perfect in a dining room, lacquered,
with lots of white trim and maybe a silver-leafed
ceiling. Sammy would be snapping his fingers! -Ken
Fulk
C2 PAINT GET BACK JACK C2-002

Chilled Chardonnay
Just like a luscious glass of its namesake, CHILLED
CHARDONNAY has broad appeal. Its relaxing and
refreshing. Think of that clear, crisp sparkle. I could
use a glass right now! This is a tawny beige great
for showcasing other colors. It would look very
smart with gray flannel, blue-and-white chintz, or
shocking pink chenille. A great no-stress color to use
throughout the house. -Susan Zises Green
BENJAMIN MOORE CHILLED CHARDONNAY 1089

Final Straw
The most amusing names are in the C2 fan deck,
probably made up by the same stoner guys who
named Ben and Jerrys ice cream flavors. Some of
my favorites are Yellow Submarine, Twilight Zone, and
FINAL STRAW. With each piece of news these days,
were all feeling like its the final straw! Nice to find one
thats actually sunny, happy, golden. Reminds me of
warm, inviting classical rooms where beautiful people
live with handsome furniture and nobody is worried
about anything except decorating. -DD Allen
C2 PAINT FINAL STRAW C2-380

Dead Salmon
As a fisherman and a foodie, I always have nice
thoughts about DEAD SALMON. I see a salmon
resting in my creel or on my plate in a neighborhood
restaurant. Clients, on the other hand, often cant get
past the image of a dead fish, so I just dont tell them
the name. But they love the color. Its like a pink thats
gone gray over time and taken on this wonderful
patina. Moody and gorgeous. -Philip Gorrivan
FARROW & BALL DEAD SALMON 28

Death by Chocolate
This is like the best chocolate that you buy for
yourself and save for those intense moments. Just
knowing its in the house can get you through the
day. DEATH BY CHOCOLATE is deeper than ordinary
browns just beneath the surface is a shimmer of
pomegranate that swiftly dispenses with reason. Its
wicked. Its passionate. If you arent too shy to leave
the light on, this is the paint for you. -Mallory Marshall
C2 PAINT DEATH BY CHOCOLATE C2-339

Come Sail Away


Who doesnt want to accept an invitation to COME
SAIL AWAY, even if only in a freshly painted room?
This is what water looks like when the sun hits it
a wonderful soft blue that isnt too chilly, thanks
to a drop of green. It would be perfect with pure
white trim, khaki slipcovers, and sea grass rugs for
summer. It would also give a front-porch ceiling, or
any ceiling, an ethereal, sky-like quality. -Todd Klein

Paint Names that Speak to the Soul


Cheryl P. Allen
278

Theres poetry in paint color names: Why choose


plain old blue when you can choose a Beckoning
Sea, why just see red when you can see Lava Flow or
why settle for green when you can be surrounded by
Lily Pond?

director for paints and coatings for Georgia-based


Plaid Enterprises Inc., a manufacturer and distributor
of craft and home-decor products, oftentimes,
its just the right timing for bringing a little bit of
brightness and optimism.

These days, names for paint colors are anything


but generic. Consumers are faced with a rainbow of
options that beckon to all the senses. Some inspire
relaxation (Morning Zen, Heavens Wind, Fresh
Cotton). Others pay homage to nature (Snow Storm,
Golden Sunset, Winding River). Still others whet the
appetite (Pumpkin Bread, Roasted Garlic).

Also, color experts may take their cues from trends


in fashion, design and pop culture, Putt says, citing
a line of pastels Plaid developed last year, called
Charleston Charm.
It was inspired by things that we were seeing . . . a
lot of subtle pastels . . . and it got us thinking about
the South . . . and once we decided that Charleston
Charm would be the umbrella theme for this group of
colors, we made the color names go with that.
The palette includes colors such as Sawgrass, a soft
gray-green, and Belle Blush, a soft pink.

Painting continues to be the top home-improvement


project because its an easy, inexpensive way to
update a room, says Jaclyn Pardini, a spokeswoman
for Lowes. And we want to find paint names that
provide inspiration.
How else can you explain names like Evening Twilight,
Daydream Haze and Juniper Breeze?
Color trends for 2010 will focus on earth tones and
nature-inspired neutrals, interspersed with rich and
brighter accent hues in shades of red, purple and
yellow.
People are much more introspective about color
this year and will be painting in a way that not only is
aesthetically pleasing but also saturates the senses,
says Donna Schroeder, color marketing and design
manager with Martin Senour Paints.
The economy is a primary factor, say color marketing
and design experts.
With the economy being so bad and people feeling
so down and low, says Melissa Putt, marketing

Some of the paint-naming process is subjective, but


often theres quite a bit of research involved, experts
say.
We turn to color-forecasting organizations and their
Web sites to see what they are talking about on a
broader scale, Putt says. We look at different things
and then we kind of translate what weve learned into
color palettes and color families that would be good
for our business, which, of course, is to appeal to the
craft market.
Lowes has a new, 261-color palette aimed at doit-yourselfers. Colors such as Carolina Sky, a light
dreamy blue, and Green Tea
Latte, a light green, are designed to inspire meditation
and relaxation in areas such as a master suite, Pardini
says.

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

Paint names also help consumers take more


ownership of their decor, especially when they can
describe it accurately or even humorously, says
Jackie L. Jordan, director of color marketing for
Sherwin-Williams.
I think people gravitate to color names that speak
to them on a personal level, Jordan says. Among
Sherwin-Williams choices, for example, are: Butter
Up, Knockout Orange and Sassy Green.

Absurd Paint Color Names


Lori Sawaya
324

Ever wonder what the people who choose color


names are thinking? Some names are absurd
and they give no clue what the actual paint color
resembles. Truth of the matter is we want paint color
names to not only give us a hint about what the color
looks like, but to also help us remember it after we
have seen it.
In tandem with seeing the color as a sample or a
chip, we need a logical name to go with it. A name
that is mainstream so most people will understand
it. We rely on practical linguistics of color so we can
make better mental notes. Our color memories are
short. Seconds after we have seen a color, we can
remember the hue but the finer details of nuance and
character begin to fade almost instantly. It happens to
all of us even the best trained colorists and most
expert-y of color experts.
I suppose creative paint color names add a twist of
interest to an otherwise mundane item of necessity
like paint for your home. However, if the paint color
name is too abstract, you have to wonder if the
novelty of the name becomes overshadowed by its
sheer randomness or complex provenance.
In this video, a rather convincing case is made
against Farrow & Balls choice of color names. What
do you think? Are cute color names fun? Or, are they
counterproductive and make matters worse in the
already confusing process of choosing paint colors?

Whats in a Name Story Using Farrow &


Ball Paint Names
The Mahogany door opened and I beheld the
Marquess of Dimitys butler, Old White, beckoning me
into Pointing Hall.
Everyone was there: Freddie Fowler-Pink and Jock
Ball-Green from the club, Hardwick White, the
architectural historian, Jemima Sutcliffe-Green, the
celebrated milliner, Dix Blue, the mangrove magnate
from Florida, and even disgraced pop star Saxon
Green and his glamorous wife, the aptly named Folly.
True to her name, Folly Green was already hooting
with laughter as she balanced her champagne
glasses with the help of the glamorous Yellow sisters,
India and Ciara. The soft pad of Slipper Satin behind
me alerted me to the presence of the object of my
affections, Hermione Green-Stone, dressed all in
Powder Blue. Care for an Olive? I enquired.
As long as you havent sprinkled Arsenic on it, she
said with a scowl and, eyeing my Blazer. I thought it
was White Tie.

Why is this Card Room Green? he was raging at


his housekeeper, Mrs Cord. Why is the Lamp Room
Gray? And the Entrance Hall Pink? Dimity was
a great one for redecorating, and was notorious
for changing his mind with regard to his interior
decorations. The Book Room Red? I stipulated no
such thing. And why on earth is the Breakfast Room
Green? he bellowed at the hapless Mrs Cord, whose
expression was fixed like Setting Plaster.
At the moment a footman shimmied past with the
makings of an apple crumble for Monsieur Vert de
Terre the chef.
Give me a Cooking Apple, Green, Dimity
commanded. And is that Sugar Bag Light? No?
Well, give me that, too, or I will beat you Black Blue,
raged the beastly man. The footman assented. And
why is Sudbury Yellow? he enquired pointing to a
particularly jaundiced-looking Flemish housemaid in
the corner. An apple crumble will cure her, he cried,
preparing to throw the ingredients at the poor girl,
and her Dutch Pink face quivered with fear.

Talking of Arsenic, I have to say that at that moment


some Pale Powder would not have gone amiss. Who
cares? I replied. This is a New White dress shirt
anyway. And I must say, you look simply ravishing.

Fortunately the girl was saved because Old White


announced dinner. Come, my little Babouche, Dimity
murmured to India Yellow, let us go in.

Fawn, Fawn, Fawn, Hermione retorted. I must say


you look a little Drab yourself. Like a Dead Salmon.
And stop staring at Ciara Yellow.

Smoked Trout with Radicchion and Citron garnish


was on the menu, folloed by Berrington Blue pork
loin and then Dorset Cream with Biscuit.

Hermione was such a metropolitan sophistocate,


always so cruel a heart of London Stone.

This tastes like Calamine, whispered Hermione,


tasting the cream, and indeed the dinner had not
been a success. At one point Green Smoke had even
emerged from the kitchen, and various morsels had

been thrown out of the window and so into the Down


Pipe.
A strange evening became stranger when a carrier
Pigeon suddenly appeared, fluttering through the
window and landing by the Wainscot. It had a piece
of String tied to its leg, and a note.
Why is the Eating Room Red? it read. This
betokens much blood, muttered Old White ominously
from the corner, fiddling with the Tallow which was
now his main responsibility. Dimitys visage Shaded
White, moving to All White. Quickly, to the Archive!
he commanded, running from the room, followed my
the entire party. Then Dimity changed his mind. No,
to the Card Room! Green lead the way!
We ran down another corridor. To the Orangery!
Dimity announced. Out through the Loggia we
ran, past the Monkey Puzzle tree and along by the
Railings. Dimitys Pale Hound, Brinjal, ran by his
masters side. Emerging from the south front, the Ball
Green stretched out in front of us, as smooth as a
Mouses Back under the Pitch Blue night sky. That
is Teresas Green, Dimity mused wistfully, referring
to the unusual female groundkeeper he employed at
the hall. But he quickly gathered his wits and we were
away, running across the Green Ground, clambering
across the Stony Ground, sliding across the Pink
Ground well, actually there was no Pink Ground.
But we soon emerged panting on to the Sand by the
shore, Lichen clothing the Green Stone all around. An
unusual site for an Orangery, it had to be admitted.
The Orangery was in fact the site of Dimitys
pioneering maritime Menagerie, including all kinds
of rarities: a Berrington Blue Flamingo, for example,

and numerous fish in a vast tank. The Borrowed Light


from the Skylight above made the water shimmer.
Something Off White was visible on the bottom of
the tank. Bone! And something larger moving in the
water.
Oh, its a Dauphin! cooed Freddie Fowler-Pink. You
mean dolphin, Freddie, I said patiently. And thats no
dolphin. Thats a Great White shark, and its out for
blood our blood!
The creature reared up out of the tank and -- Clunch!
-- Landed on the floor of the Menagerie. The
assembled guests surveyed the Savage Ground
as the shark thrashed about in its death throes.
I prodded it with my Cane. It was dead. Dimity
maintained he had no idea how the Great White had
come to be there. I stood transfixed as the other
guests departed, the scent of Straw in my nostrils, an
intimation of the larger mammals Dimity kept in his
Orangery-Menagerie.
I must have stood there for a long time until at
length I felt hot breath on my neck. Oh Hermione,
Hermione, at last! I whispered, turning around.
But alas, it was not Hermione Green-Stones breath
that I had felt. It was Elephants Breath. I flush
Porphyry Pink, but thankfully no one was there to
see, least of all Hermione.

Pantone Colour of the Year

Pantones Color of the Year Is...


Cathy Horyn
356

AT least one color authority, Pantone, has taken the


plunge and announced its favorite color for 2008. To
be sure, this news doesnt seem as delectable as
Peoples Sexiest Man Alive or as snugly affirming as
Times Person of the Year. You probably did not even
know that chili pepper red was the color for 2007.
Pantone Timeline - A New Year, A New Color.
Every year the Pantone Color Institute chooses a
color of the year. Click through a timeline of Pantones
color of the year from 2000 to the present.
Nonetheless, Pantones choice of blue iris, or No.
18-3943, got some news media attention last
week, which seemed to be partly the objective of
the company, which is based in Carlstadt, N.J.
In a statement, Leatrice Eiseman, the executive
director of the Pantone Color Institute, said: Blue
Iris brings together the dependable aspects of blue,
underscored by a strong, soul-searching purple cast.
Emotionally, it is anchoring and meditative with a
touch of magic.
Later, in a telephone interview, Ms. Eiseman said the
selection process had been very thoughtful, based
on various influences, and that indeed the final choice
reflected a need for thoughtfulness. Five individuals
were involved in the selection process. With blue
iris, we felt that it answered several needs, hopes,
desires, that kind of thing, she said.
If that strikes you as hazy, youre not alone. Its a little
bit on the funny side, said Micha Riss, the creative
director of Flying Machine, a branding and design firm
in New York, whose clients include ESPN and Sky

Italia. I respect Pantone a lot, but I see them as a


technical service. If Helmut Lang were to make such
a projection, I would listen.
Mr. Lang is, alas, no longer making clothes. Still,
designers of his caliber tend to avoid such industrial
predictions, on the ground that it leaves them less
room to exert their particular influence. After all,
where would the world be without Miuccia Pradas
beautification of ugly brown, Tom Fords elevation of
candy-floss lilac? If a fashion label can be said to own
a color, then shocking pink belongs to Schiaparelli.
Red is to Valentino what orange is to Tide.
The higher-ups in fashion tend to profess a horror
of predictions, anyway. Its so prosaic, like In and
Out lists. As Alber Elbaz, the designer at Lanvin,
characterized the shortcomings of forecasts, in a call
to his Paris office: We think we can read How to
Become a Millionaire or Find a Gorgeous Husband
in Three Weeks, but a book is a book is a book. We
have to go with intuition. He said forecasts are for
the mass market, for retailers and manufacturers who
want to be sure they have enough blue sweaters in
stock next winter.
Pantone provides standardized palettes for a number
of industries, mainly graphics, fashion textiles
and interior design. Not surprisingly, Pantones
competitors in the area of forecasting are skeptical of
its choice, if not the motive behind it.
Its very good for publicity, and it certainly shows a
lot of bravado, said Margaret Walch, the director of
the Color Association, a forecasting group founded

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

in 1915, when the vast majority of its members


were milliners, glove makers and hosiery suppliers.
Because consumer tastes and values are under a
variety of influences economic, environmental,
global anointing one color isnt all that meaningful,
she said. Is there a color she might have picked
instead? Ms. Walch laughed lightly, as if to say, O.K.,
Ill play along. She answered, My color for 2008
is bamboo. A yellowed green, chosen from the
associations interior palette, she said, it represents
the stable green that is most on peoples minds.
She said its similar to a hue called Vineyard, adding:
I feel it just has a power. You know, these are very
insecure times.
Before you have a complete freak-out and crawl into
your bamboo-colored hole to await the purple dawn,
lets pause and consider a few things. There has
indeed been a surge of blue on the runways in the
last year, beginning last February with Raf Simonss
dresses and pantsuits, in an Yves Klein blue, for
Jil Sander and extending into the spring 2008
collections with Nicolas Ghesquieres explosive floral
prints for Balenciaga. Mr. Elbaz used a deep lagoon
blue in his spring Lanvin show, and one found lighter
but no less robust shades in collections by Marni and
Chlo, and in the mens lines of Prada and Alexander
McQueen. Dolce & Gabbana called its new fragrance
Light Blue. And JWT, the advertising and marketing
company, just named blue as one of the top 10
trends for 2008, saying that blue is the new green,
particularly as it denotes ecological concerns.
Im thrilled, Terron Schaefer, senior vice president
of marketing at Saks Fifth Avenue, said of the
blue news. This fall, Mr. Schaefer worked with an

Amsterdam-based designer, Pete Paris, on new


shopping bags for the spring. As it happens, the bags
have a large element of a watery blue.
Ms. Eiseman of the Color Institute said she gathers
information from various sources, including trade
shows like the influential Milan furniture fair. From a
marketing standpoint, theres plenty of reason to think
that blue may have eclipsed green.
I think green is being abused to death, said Regis
Pean, creative director of Studio Red, a branding and
design division of the Rockwell Group, which works
with companies like Coca-Cola, McDonalds and
Procter & Gamble. Everybody wants to be green.
(Notably, Barneys New York, which is promoting
a green Christmas.) For educated consumers,
Mr. Pean said, the overuse of green in marketing is
increasingly a turn-off.
There is no doubt that color influences consumer
choices, whether its as durable as a Tiffany blue
box, as sharp and crystal clear as an Apple store,
or as seasonal (and socially attuned) as Gaps Red
campaign.
What if Coke decided to become green? said
Leslie Singer, the president and chief creative officer
of G2 Branding & Design. Well, for one thing, the
public would lose a prime visual signpost in the
supermarket. Color drives the way you navigate
through a store, Mr. Pean said, pointing out that
stores employ whats called an r and K strategy,
based on a mathematical equation. Either they flood
an aisle with a block of color or they go for selective,
standout placement.

357

358

As Ms. Singer points out, heritage brands like Coke


and Burberry arent really affected by color forecasts.
They already have a look and a palette: why confuse
matters? For fashion designers the concerns are
different. Mr. Elbaz says a color can look one way in
a swatch, another in a bolt of cloth, and still another
when you cut into it. There are three stages and
each is different, said Mr. Elbaz, who finds that some
of his best colors come from cosmetics because
theyve been tested on the face.
Paradoxically, fashion may not be as responsible for
stimulating interest in color as other creative fields
architecture, furniture design and technology. In
the fashion business, were a bit dead at the moment
because we sold out to bling, said David Shah, a
clothing maker and a forecaster based in Amsterdam,
whose View publishing company produces
magazines on color and retail trends (including
one for Pantone). The architects and the furniture
designers are the new sexy ones.
Nonetheless, all these creative forces, along with
a desire to have more humor, will feed demand for
color, Mr. Shah predicted. Color is now seen as an
item of luxury, he said. Yes, like an orange Herms
box, or a once-humble box of chocolates.

Pantone Pronounces this Sky Blue as the Hue of the


Future
The official color of the millennium is Cerulean Blue
PANTONE 15-4020 TC, the color of the sky on a
serene, crystal clear day, says Pantone, Inc., the
worlds leading authority on color and color trends.
Lifestyle movements suggest that consumers will be
seeking inner peace and spiritual fulfillment in the new
millennium. This is a paradoxical time in which we are
heading toward an uncertain, yet exciting, future, and
also looking back, trying to hold onto the security of
the past. In this stressful, high-tech era, we will be
searching for solace and Cerulean Blue produces the
perfect calming effect.
Psychologically, gazing at a blue sky brings a sense
of peace and tranquillity to the human spirit, says
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone
Color Institute. Sky blue is imprinted in our psyches
as a retiring, quiescent color. Surrounding yourself
with Cerulean blue could bring on a certain peace
because it reminds you of time spent outdoors, on
a beach, near the water - associations with restful,
peaceful, relaxing times. In addition, it makes the
unknown a little less frightening because the sky,
which is a presence in our lives every day, is a
constant and is always there. Thats the dependability
factor of blue.
Our studies show that blue is the leading favorite
color for designers and consumers worldwide,
regardless of culture, gender or geographic origin,
says Lisa Herbert, vice president, corporate

communications worldwide, Pantone, Inc. Not only


is it a favorite in the U.S., but it is the first color choice
in Europe and Asia as well. Weve chosen Cerulean
Blue as the official color for the millennium because
of its mass appeal. It is a universal, unisex color,
applicable to just about every consumer product
including womens, mens and childrens fashions,
interior design and home furnishings, cosmetics and
even automobiles.
Physiologically, the viewing of blue reduces blood
pressure, heartbeat and respiration rate and creates
a calming effect.
Socio-ecologically, as we enter the next century,
water issues are emerging at the forefront of the
publics consciousness. Exhausting our natural
resources and polluting our environment, particularly
our water supply, continues to be a concern, another
reason for the popularity of blue for the future.

Pantone, Inc., the global authority on color and


provider of professional color standards for the
design industries, selects PANTONE 19-1557 Chili
Pepper, a deep, spicy red, as the color of the year for
2007. This engaging, resonant hue strikes a high note
for fashion and personal expression as its boldness is
appealingly eye-catching, sophisticated and enticing.
In a time when personality is reflected in everything
from a cell phone to a Web page on a social
networking site, Chili Pepper connotes an outgoing,
confident, design-savvy attitude.
Whether expressing danger, celebration, love or
passion, red will not be ignored, explains Leatrice
Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color
Institute. In 2007, there is an awareness of the
melding of diverse cultural influences, and Chili
Pepper is a reflection of exotic tastes both on the
tongue and to the eye. Nothing reflects the spirit of
adventure more than the color red. At the same time,
Chili Pepper speaks to a certain level of confidence
and taste. Incorporating this color into your wardrobe
and living space adds drama and excitement, as it
stimulates the senses.

Pantone Unveils Color of the Year for 2010:

Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT),
and the global authority on color and provider of

today announced PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise,
an inviting, luminous hue, as the color of the year

and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise
evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and
a languorous, effective escape from the everyday
troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring
our sense of wellbeing.
In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special
position in the world of color, explains Leatrice
Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color
Institute. It is believed to be a protective talisman,
a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color
of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through

inviting, even if only a fantasy.

Pantone 18-2120 Honeysuckle

Energizing Honeysuckle Lifts Spirits and Imparts


Confidence to Meet Lifes Ongoing Challenges
Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT),
and the global authority on color and provider of
professional color standards for the design industries,
today announced PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle,
a vibrant, energetic hue, as the color of the year for
2011.
While the 2010 color of the year, PANTONE 155519 Turquoise, served as an escape for many,
Honeysuckle emboldens us to face everyday troubles
with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink,
Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. It elevates
our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence,
courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges
that have become part of everyday life.
In times of stress, we need something to lift our
spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating
color that gets the adrenaline going perfect to
ward off the blues, explains Leatrice Eiseman,
executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a
powerful bond to its mother color red, the most
physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum.
Eiseman continues, The intensity of this festive
reddish pink allures and engages. In fact, this color,
not the sweet fragrance of the flower blossoms for

which it was named, is what attracts hummingbirds


to nectar. Honeysuckle may also bring a wave
of nostalgia for its associated delicious scent
reminiscent of the carefree days of spring and
summer.
Honeysuckle is guaranteed to produce a healthy glow
when worn by both men and women. Its a striking,
eye-catching hue that works well for day and night
in womens apparel, accessories and cosmetics,
and in mens ties, shirts and sportswear. Add a lively
flair to interior spaces with Honeysuckle patterned
pillows, bedspreads, small appliances and tabletop
accessories. Looking for an inexpensive way to perk
up your home? Paint a wall in Honeysuckle for a
dynamic burst of energy in the family room, kitchen or
hallway.

A Year in Colour

Every year since the millennium Pantone Inc, the


industry leader in colour, has announced a colour
which they believe encapsulates the mood of the
forthcoming year. 2010 was Turquoise, 2011 is
Honeysuckle. Since 2007 Pantone has been making
these predictions public, with press releases and
online publicity, utilising the marketing opportunity it
presents for the company.
The predictions are based on a number of factors
including; consumer trends, global events, economic
and politic influences. The colour is chosen by a
select group of leading experts within the field of
trend and colour forecasting. The colour of the
year announcement is one of a number of colour
predictions Pantone makes as part of its trend
forecasting services, most of which are made two
years ahead, as is the norm for the industry. The
predictions are predominantly aimed as consumer
goods manufacturers, including fashion and product
designers and while colour trend predictions are just
informed speculation one could argue that they are
closer to self-fulfilling prophecies.
Turquoise was described as a colour that transports
us to an exciting, tropical paradise while offering a
sense of protection and healing in stressful times
Attaching meaning and imagery to colours through
the use of language and association is common
practise among colour manufacturers. Colour
naming is often used to evoke aspirational ideas from
commercial colours and make products appear more
attractive to consumers. This tactic is particularly
evident among paint manufacturers, when you buy a
colour you buy into a lifestyle.

No matter which way you look at it, the notion of


colour forecasting and defining a year with a colour,
pales into insignificance when set against the
struggles many people have faced on a daily basis
over the past 12 months. 2010 was not Turquoise,
it was splattered black with the oil spilt in the Gulf
of Mexico, it was dusted grey with the ash from the
Icelandic volcano and it was turned red by the blood
of victims of the Haiti earthquake.
This project aims to highlight the inconsequentiality
and frivolity of colour trends in light of the difficulties
many face in the year ahead. Honeysuckle may
emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve
and vigor but it will not soften the impact of spending
cuts or repair damage caused by natural disasters. It
also aims to highlight how easily life-changing world
events can be co-opted, repackaged and sold as
concepts and ideas. Marketers mine many sources
for the latest trend and naming concepts for their
products. By reducing a natural disaster to a colour
palette, it suddenly seems less threatening, almost
safe enough to paint your dining room with.

A Year in Colour

Haitian Earthquake
396

Haitian Earthquake Pantone 409 C captures the


dark cloud that hangs over the future of many in Haiti.
It may be the colour of the rubble from the collapsed
buildings but it can never represent the loss of
homes, businesses and lives that were destroyed by
the earthquake.
On The 12th of January an earthquake, measuring 7.0
on the Richter scale, rocked the small island of Haiti.
Over 300,000 people are believed to have died as the
earthquake caused massive damage to the capital
Port-au-Prince. Government buildings were destroyed
and several officials were killed. The quake has left an
estimated one million of Haitis nine million inhabitants
homeless. An international aid operation was
organised to try to rebuild the already desperately
poor and war-torn country. However strong
aftershocks, violence, lack of basic infrastructure and
an outbreak of cholera have all hampered the relief
effort, leaving the country still in a state of devastation
a year later.

Snow
Snow Pantone 2707 C evokes the icy temperatures
that engulfed Britain during several months, leaving
the country covered in a blanket of snow. This cool
exterior hides the disruption caused by the weather
and the arctic winds that caused it.
Britain suffered harsh winter weather conditions at
both the start and end of 2010, causing widespread
disruption. Heavy snow fell across the entire country
in January, February, November and December, with

parts of the country seeing the earliest heavy snowfall


for decades. There were record low temperatures of
minus 19 recorded and the snowfall in the south east
of England caused the closure of transport networks
and airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick. The
temperatures were caused by a distortion in the jet
stream, which allowed icy Arctic winds to bring cold
air down across North-western Europe.

Oil Spill
Oil Spill Pantone 432 C reminds us of the dark,
acrid smoke from the frames that engulfed the Deep
Water Horizon platform and the oil that subsequently
spilled from it. But it hides a dark secret, ecological
damage to the region that may take years to repair.
On the 20th of April an explosion on BPs Deep Water
Horizon platform in the Gulf of Mexico caused the rig
to catch fire, killing 11 workers. Although 98 people
were subsequently rescued the fire was severe and
the platform sank. The well the platform had been
drilling was discovered to be leaking oil on the 22nd
of April. By 30th April the spill covered an area of
3,850 square miles. After several failed attempts the
well was finally capped and sealed on the 15th July,
but by then it had leaked 4.9 million barrels of oil into
the sea, becoming the worst environmental disaster
in US history. Masses of oil from the spill washed
up on the shorelines of Louisiana and Mississippi,
damaging the regions fishing and tourism industry
and wreaking environmental devastation.

Ash Cloud
Ash Cloud Pantone 7544 C this cool grey evokes
the towering that drifted over Europe. Its calm
exterior masks the chaos caused by the grounding
of aircraft and the ferociousness of the volcanos
eruption.
Air travel was significantly disrupted in April and
again in May by the volcanic eruption of Mount
Eyjafjallajkull in Iceland, which began on 14th April.
The eruption itself was small, but it formed a gigantic
cloud of ash, which rose nine kilometres into the
sky. Atmospheric winds allowed the cloud to drift
over large parts of mainland Europe resulting in a
complete shutdown of the affected airspace for a
period of five days. This was the biggest disruption in
air travel since World War II as the high levels of silica
in the cloud are highly damaging to aircraft engines,
causing them to fail. The chaos caused by the
cancellation of flights lead to thousands of travellers
being stranded and losses of millions of pounds to
the airline industry.

Coalition
Coalition Pantone 534 C a political blue, the colour
of the Conservative Party and their vision of The Big
Society. But in this palette where is the yellow of
the Liberal Democrats? That question has yet to be
answered.
After weeks of campaigning by the three main
political parties the people of Britain went to the polls
for a General Election on May 6th. None of the parties

won the number of seats in parliament necessary to


win an overall majority, resulting in a hung parliament.
In the days following the result Gordon Brown
resigned as the leader of the Labour Party and
there was a brief attempt to create a Labour/Liberal
Democrat coalition. However this was still not enough
to create a majority. After several days of talks with
the Liberal Democrats, David Cameron, the Leader
of the Conservative party became the new Prime
Minister and Leader of the first coalition government
in the UK to directly result from an election.

World Cup
World Cup Pantone 7404 C this vibrant hue
captures the excitement and dynamism of the
tournament and the colours of the host nation. It also
reminds us of the colour of many of the much talked
about vuvuzelas, made famous around the world by
the event.
The 2010 World Cup opened on June 11 in
Johannesburg in South Africa, the first time an
African nation had hosted the finals. Thirty-two teams
competed in 64 matches, to see Spain defeat the
Netherlands 1-0 in extra time to win the tournament.
England was knocked out in a 4-1 defeat by Germany
in the second round, their worst performance in a
World Cup. Overall the tournament was viewed as
a success despite accusations beforehand that the
government had evicted residents and cleared slums
near to the stadiums in an attempt to clean-up the
areas.

Pakistans Floods
398

Pakistans Flood Pantone 417 C a murky grey,


capturing the shade of the monsoon rains and flood
water that engulfed the country. It also represents
the dark cloud that now hangs over the country s
economy and political leadership.
In July heavy monsoon rains caused extensive
flooding in Pakistan. One fifth of the countrys land
area was left underwater, affecting 20 million people,
the worst flooding in the region for 80 years. Two
thousand people were killed, but more devastating
was the damage to millions of acres of crops, the loss
of livestock, nearly 2 million houses and the damage
to infrastructure. Relief was slow to arrive and much
of the international aid money pledged did not arrive.
Four million people were forced to drink unclean
water, increasing exposure to waterbourne diseases
and the lack of outside help has led to fears of the
Taliban gaining influence in the country.

Popes Visit
Popes Visit Pantone 656 C reflects peacefulness
and the cool white of the Popes robes. It evokes a
purity and holiness, but like the Church it cannot hide
dark secrets forever.
The first Papal visit to Britain since 1982 saw Pope
Benedict tour Britain for six days. The run up to the
visit had been mired in controversy by claims that
the Pope should not be given a state visit, calls for
his arrest by Richard Dawkins for the his involvement
in the coverage of child abuse in the Catholic
Church and comments by a senior aide to the Pope

describing Britain as like a third world country. There


were complaints about the cost to the UK taxpayer
of security for the visit and that tickets to the open air
masses were too expensive. Despite this thousands
turned out to see the Pope as he visited London,
Edinburgh, Glasgow and Birmingham.

Miners Rescue
Miners Rescue Pantone 7576 C a warm hue,
signifying the positive occasion and echoing the
colour of the rescuers overalls, one of the first sights
for the miners as they were brought to the surface.
A sharp contrast to the darkness they had spent so
many days in.
One of the biggest success stories of the year was
the rescue of thirty-three miners who had been
trapped underground for a record sixty-nine days,
after an accident at their mine in Chile. The rescue
mission was complex; drilling an escape tunnel
through the hard rock took weeks, while the miners
were put on a diet and fitness regime so that they
would fit in the rescue capsule. It took twenty-two
hours to winch all the miners to the surface, where
they were greeted by the President of Chile and
friends and relatives who had set up camp outside
the mine.

Royal Engagement
Royal Engagement Pantone 7686 C The royal
engagement brought positivity to the nation, much

like this shade, which reflects the shade of Kate


Middletons dress and the blue of her sapphire
engagement ring.
On the 16th of November it was announced that
Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton were
engaged after nine years together. The couple met
whilst both studying at St Andrews University in
Scotland. The announcement was televised and
followed by an intimate interview with the couple.
William used his mother, the late Princess Dianas
engagement ring for the proposal and Kate will
become Princess Catherine. The couple will marry
in April at Westminster Abbey and the day of the
wedding is due to be a national bank holiday.

Student Riots
Student Riots Pantone 158 C represents the anger
and passion many students feel over the raising of
tuition fees. What this fiery hue cannot tell us, much
like the riots themselves is, who should pay and how.
On several occasions in November and December
riots broke out among student demonstrators
protesting against the tripling of tuition fees and the
government cuts to university funding. A number of
people were injured and protestors broke into the
Conservative party headquarter, causing thousands
of pounds worth of damage. On a separate occasion
protestor hijacked and smashed a police vans, set
a bus shelter on fire and hurled bottles at the car of
Prince Charles and Camilla as they drove through
central London. Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal

Democrats, angered students as he had promised


not to raise tuition fees before the General Election.
Despite the protests fees will rise to up to 9000 a
year in 2012.

WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks Pantone 7443 C has an air of
transparency to it, echoing the transparency of
governments WikiLeaks tried to enforce. But at the
same time it represents a degree of opacity that
surrounds the organisation and its founder Julian
Assange.
WikiLeaks made the headlines on a number of
occasions, releasing a video of a US army helicopter
shooting civilians in Afghanistan in April. In July it
then went on to release what has become know
as the Afghan War Logs, a set of classified military
documents about operations in Afghanistan,
some of which suggest war crimes. It followed in
November with the release of thousands of American
diplomatic cables, revealing comments, which
have embarrassed a number of high profile officials
and leaders. WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange is
currently under house arrest in England, fighting an
extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for charges
of sexual assault.

Critical Reflection

A Brief Evaluation of Unit 2.3 Design & Rhetoric


406

After developing my ideas at the beginning of the


term, I have been able to use all the different parts of
Unit 2 as an opportunity to investigate ideas about
colour, language and semiotics. My work into Unit 2.1
Elective A, Information Design and Unit 2.2 Elective B,
Book Arts have allowed me to further explore ideas
I have been studying in Design & Rhetoric, such as
paint colours and creating colour palettes based on a
theme or concept and also research about Pantone.
Using the Electives to generate research and outputs
that relate to my work for Design and Rhetoric has
enabled me to investigate my ideas more thoroughly
and to a greater depth. Although I cannot submit the
same work for the Electives as Design and Rhetoric it
has had the effect of supporting the development of
my work, ideas and output for Design & Rhetoric and
allowing me to conduct my research in a more holistic
and cohesive way.
My output for Design and Rhetoric have strayed
somewhat from the starting point of the investigation,
The Semiotics of Paint Colours. However I believe
that by touching on the ideas of trend forecasting
and the role companies like Pantone play in creating
trends and ideas around particular colours I have
been able to look at the much wider concept of how
colours and words are combined to influence our
consumer choices. The increasing poeticism of paint
names is but one aspect of the process of attaching
aspirational or idealistic ideas to colours through
the use of language, in order to make them more
appealing to the consumer. This is not only the case
with consumer paint colours, but also with cosmetics,
textiles, ceramics, paper, and often, other products
that are available in more than one colour-way.

Although I have spent time looking at the nature of


paint names, as the project evolved, how culture and
meaning is attached to a colour through a name; how
colours acquire culture, became a more interesting
direction to take, with more scope for potential
outcomes. Having researched Pantones Colour
of the Year announcements and trend forecasting
in general, I felt that it was appropriate to use the
Design and Rhetoric section of Unit 2 to comment
on the insignificance and frivolity of fashion trends
and colour forecasting when set against the natural
disasters, political problems and economic struggles
the world has faced in 2010.
Having reached this conclusion with the output of the
unit it is clear that my work for Design and Rhetoric
has not only moved away from my initial starting
point but also from my Major Project Proposal.
Despite this, they still relate to each other in terms
of their starting point: how we talk about colour. The
fundamental difference between the two, however, is
the context. My work for Design and Rhetoric looks
at the relationship between colour and language in a
commercial context, where the agenda is to market
and sell. The Major Project will look at colour and
language in more of an everyday, real life context,
where the agenda is usually to communicate and
understand, as outlined in the proposal.
Despite the differences between the output for
Design and Rhetoric and the Major Project Proposal
there has been a significant amount of overlap in the
research for the two parts of the unit, particularly
in the background research and reading. Design
and Rhetoric has also allowed me to test out

Design & Rhetoric Supporting Material

different methods of colour analysis, for example in


Photoshop. Whilst some have been more effective
than others, this has proved a useful exercise in
preparation for the Major Project and increased my
knowledge of suitable methodologies for it.
The methodology for the Design and Rhetoric output
itself, is not as rigorous and objective as I would have
preferred. However, despite being able to identify
the type of data set that would be appropriate for
the project, it proved far more difficult to locate a
source of information that would be suitable, within
the timescales of the project. As a result the data
on which the outcome is based derives from the
amalgamation of a number of sources, compromising
my intended methodology. Consequently I feel that it
is necessary to acknowledge, in this evaluation, that
while the methodology for the output was flawed, it is
an issue that I am aware of and intend to avoid during
my Major Project.
I also feel that I should have spent, proportionately,
more time producing formal studies which could
have informed research for my Major Project. More
time should also have been spent on developing
the research I have done for Design & Rhetoric into
ideas for an output. This may have lead to a more
substantial and successful outcome for the project.
I believe that there was potential for an interesting
output that has not quite been realised to the same
degree as other parts of the unit. However, much of
the secondary research and reading completed in
Unit 2 has provided essential background knowledge
and built a strong base upon which to continue
research for my Major Project.

Ultimately, with the detailed Action Plan and Schedule


of work for my Major Project set out, I hope to
allocate time to different activities more effectively to
allow me to produce more successful outcomes for
Unit 3.
