In Progress updates to the Rainbowlists - opinion needed

[silvercat17]

I've started categorizing the colors, so if you go to the tags you'll see 'hue: blue' etc, as well as 'category: metallic'. I may add some other categories like neon and pastel

Some of the updated colors also have generic achievement banners and I'm working on updating the color logo (some of the ovals are football shaped and several of the colors you can see that it was altered from a red one, not to mention that most use Futura and the font should be Helvetica) (... I realize that I'm probably the one to whom that is incredibly blatant)

So far only one has all five banners (color list, retouch, paint-by-numbers, saturation, and tapestry) and that's Salmon

1. On that note, do you consider salmon a shade of pink, orange, or both?
2. to you does white include off-whites like beige or no?
3. does brown include tans and similar colors?

1) Defs pink;
2) I feel like that'd be my first tag guess if I wanted something like beige or eggshell;
3) Yeah, same logic as 2.

1, pink, I always thought salmon was a shade of pink

2. yup. maybe I'm biased because I wanna make a bunch of national flag palettes and I need more options of white.

3. yup.

Re white: There are about 30 whites for you to pick from, not even counting beige, ecru, etc!

Let me tell ya, I'm mildly stupid about colors, if it's not written "white" in the name, my brain doesn't compute that it's white (which does not apply to other colors, I don't know why). But thank you!

[silvercat17]

Not a problem! There have been a number of questions about what counts as a color, which is why I'm tagging each one with its 'hue' to make it (hopefully) easier

[analogbasilisk]

I feel that the hue tag will make my life much easier

lol, I came here to say that salmon is pink - and I see we all manifested on exactly the same point! Never mind prompts etc etc; salmon is pink. XD

so

1. Pink
2. No feelings? Beige doesn't feel very white to me, it's light brown, but light creams/off-whites seem reasonable enough, save where they're closer to the colour they're fading out of (like, white with a dash of pink, yes; very very light pink - pink) but idk. I think as long as you're consistent about whatever you decide it ought to be fine. We're not decorating for real.
3. Yep. Brown.

Thank you!

Beige may have been a bad example - it's got a wide range of colors :/
