April the month of rainbows

[vexed_wench]

Welcome to the month of rainbows!

I will be your host for the month. I have supplied a huge prompt list. It is all of the Crayola's colors past, current, and discontinued from their various products. There is a huge list with examples of the color here.

You may use the prompt however it speaks to you. If it inspires an emotion or the actual color that is up to you and your muse.

As always one of the great things about allbingo is that you are not limited to just fics. You can do whatever strikes your fancy,

Fic, art, icons, videos, pic spams, recs, handcrafts, heck if you want to fill a bingo with decorated pastries that fit the color theme that would be awesome.

I will be making banners for those of you that make a bingo by the last day of April.

Happy creating and any question feel free to poke me.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

This looks like fun. I'll make a card.

You're missing Ultramarine and Flesh, by the way. Ultramarine appeared in some of the oldest boxes, but I also remember it from mine. They wish everyone would forget the peach-colored crayons labeled Flesh, which were around a hell of a lot later than the 1960s.

Re: Yay!

[vexed_wench]

Oh wow I did huh. I will add Ultramarine. I left flesh out because of the controversy it caused. If you want to use flesh you can always add it.

Thanks again for allowing me to host.

Re: Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

For a group activity, omitting Flesh is probably prudent. I'll be using it in mine because it's a good prompt. Also, I love this version.

Re: Yay!

[vexed_wench]

That is a good set.

Re: Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Yeah, the multicultural art sets came out after my crayon years. At first they were really hard to find. Now they are ubiquitous. Crayons, colored pencils, markers, construction paper, and clay are all readily available in a lovely range of realistic skin tones.

;) And then in one of my Polychrome Heroics poems, someone asked if there were any CPR mannequins with the exotic skin tones that appear with some superpowers. Not on the open market, yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kraken has some.

Vexed is it okay if I go with Midnight Blue's original name of Prussian Blue?

[kiramaru7]

Vexed, is it okay if I go with Midnight Blue's original name of Prussian Blue?

Sorry for the repeat question. I forgot I wasn't logged in. XD

[cornerofmadness]

This will be too much fun (so many names I've never seen and can't even imagine the color they'd be)

[kadma]

This is an interesting set of prompts! I'm going to try my hand at the public card.

[vexed_wench]

That's great I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

[vexed_wench]

I'm glad to hear that!

There is a list here if you want to see.( not that you have to use the exact color) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors

[vexed_wench]

Sure Kira. I did add Prussian Blue but you can add any color you want. I gave people a bunch but I know there are still a ton of colors out there. Have fun!

Yes...

[ysabetwordsmith]

Also if you get out on the pages by crayon collectors, some of them not only have pictures but talk about the subtle variations between colors. There are a lot more names than appear on the common lists. Some of that stuff is seriously old and rare.

[kiramaru7]

Thanks, Vexed!! I didn't see it, but I did add it to my own list. I couldn't believe how many colors there are! XD Anyway, I'm excited to get started!! :D Thanks!! :D

[cornerofmadness]

Hey thanks! I do want to see! Yeah I doubt any of these will be actual colors once I'm done with them.

[samuraiter]

*chuckles*

Okay, you had me at Booger Buster, I think, but that really is a cool list. I'll take a stab at the public card. Thank you for providing it!

[vexed_wench]

I am glad you like the list and card. Booger Buster sounds like it could be a fun prompt.

Have fun and I look forward to what you come up with.

[yonkyu]

I would love to give this a try and practice some writing!!!

[vexed_wench]

That is great!

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Go for it. We'd love to see what you come up with.

[yonkyu]

Yes, now I just have to pick my colors.

Re: Yay!

[yonkyu]

Thanks!!!
