Yellow (#4 of 8)

Rudbeckia, from North Carolina Arboretum, October 2006


Continuing the rainbow series. Previous posts were pink, red and orange. I need to finish the series in time to prepare some cards to hand out at the Brooklyn Blogfest in May. Indigo is going to be tough; I might skip it, go straight to purple/violet, and come back to indigo later.

Red (#2 of 8)

Hibiscus, from South Midwood Garden Tour, July 30, 2006


The second of eight installments on the way to creating a photographic rainbow to use as a banner for the blog and other branding opportunities. Pink was the first, and there will be six more: orange, yellow, green (easy!), blue, indigo (tough!) and violet/purple.

"Red" turned out to be harder for me to define than "Pink". It's not a simple color. There are so many different flavors of red. Of course, there's the brilliant, vibrant, almost crimson that screams RED, like the Hibiscus.

There are less saturated reds, like brick red:

I'm having a particularly hard time figuring out where red leaves off and orange begins:

There are many more flavors of red in the Flickr photo set, so be sure to visit there, too.
