What you need
A color can be a tiny story. You can make this one entirely in your head, from wherever you are.
Nothing at all.
Make it
A color can be a tiny story. You can make this one entirely in your head, from wherever you are.
- 1
Pick one color you can see without moving: a sleeve, a wall, or the corner of a book.
- 2
Give it a name that sounds like a moment, such as Tuesday Before the Kettle Boils. Your first thought is enough.
- 3
Imagine one place that needs this color: a quiet café, a spaceship kitchen, or a room made for naps.
Short on energy? Just choose a color and give it a single unexpected word.
A good place to stop: One color with one new name is a complete creation.
Make it work for you: You can use a remembered color instead of looking around. No writing or device is needed.
Another route: Name a texture instead: Crinkled Sunday or Cloud-Cushion Soft.
