Suggestions for new colours - contrasts/pairings lists Part 2

[thisbluespirit]

These lists contain linked words in threes and fours, which I thought could also be handy for triptych (if people want to use them that way). They also work as normal prompts etc.

Specific queries - if anyone has any substitutions for better fandom trio-sets for the tumblr blue prompt set I'm happy to hear them - thanks to Cindybug and Ilthit for dreaming up most of them for me!

The last two 'three' sets, I used colours I could find with the word three in the title, but I'm not sure I'm happy with those entirely or that they might be better used for other sets - if anyone has any more appropriate ideas, I'd be happy to rename them. (The ones that were more contrasts/linked words, I stuck to the mineral themes, so those are okay, although I apologise if the colours are more awkward to do!)

With thanks to everybody in the Discord who helped me come up with things (and wiki's Irreversible Binomial page!)

TUMBLR BLUE, that is mad genius!

Three Wishes could be blue too - blue fairy or the Disney genie blue?

What is the Trinity Island reference?

Tumblr blue! :D I'm not over it. Brilliant.

[thisbluespirit]

Ha, thank you! As soon as we came up with it, I knew "tumblr blue" was the only possible name for it!

I don't want to do the others all blue, as it's our most used colour shade & there's no real reason to - I think I may have come up with something now, though!

[silvercat17]

I like Three Wishes, but Trinity Island is meh to me. I'll brainstorm some ideas and you can decide if like one of them better

I saw an article on Wikipedia of threesome phrases, if you wanted more, but I'll have remember how I got there

[silvercat17]

Hendiatris or tripartite motto

[thisbluespirit]

Three Wishes is nice, but really needs to be saved for something else where it'd be perfect thematically! And, yeah, not happy with Trinity Island either.

BUT I think I've cracked it while I was having my rest - use Neapolitan!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_ice_cream

So - either keep Triploidite for the first, or, which I would prefer if you're cool with a tri-coloured banner -

Triploidite = Neapolitan (STrawberry, Vanilla & Chocolate - of any available shade of those, of which there are loads on the colour site you linked me to before, see below)

TRinity - Neapolitan Pink (any shade of strawberry not used, I like Strawberry Pink, I think, but see here: https://www.colorxs.com/search/strawberry)
Three Wishes - Neapolitan Yellow (any shade of vanilla not used: https://www.colorxs.com/search/vanilla (only vanilla itself used so far)

Which, then, between the original/modern variant gives us potentially several more that could be used for sets-of-three prompt lists - Neapolitan Brown, Classical Neapolitan (green white & pink), Neapolitan White, Neapolitan Green & Neapolitan Cherry.

If you're not keen on the ice-cream, I did also find TRicycle red: https://www.colorxs.com/color/tricycle-red-2000-20
and Tricorn Black: https://www.colorxs.com/color/tricorn-black-sw-6258

But I think we can save Three Wishes - it clearly needs to be used for something more fairy-tale related someday!

Thanks for having a think, though - my own brainwave came late. I suppose I was so stuck on minerals, I couldn't think about ice cream. XD

(It does make me think - I reckon we've probably got quite a few food-named colours, if you wanted to make that an additional category any time - there are definitely a few fruits and vanilla, chocolate etc already, and if you like Neapolitan, you can add in three scoops of ice cream there, too.)

[silvercat17]

I have no problem doing fun things with the banners!

And a food category is not a bad idea

[silvercat17]

How about Spumoni (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spumoni) and tartufo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartufo) instead of multiple neapolitans?

or some other layered foods like trifle?

ideas:
dame blanche (french sundae with ice cream, chocolate, and whipped cream)
strawberry shortcake
Mille-Feuille (another fancy french thing)
marble cake
coconut cream pie
swiss roll
banana split
rocket pop (usually red, white and blue)

[thisbluespirit]

We can keep the Triploidite for the first, if you prefer! I like Neapolitan because it's specifically three colours, which is perfect really, and we do have plenty of same word colours already (I just did a whole bunch of jaspers in the other post), so I think two Neapolitans won't hurt us.

However, the stripey minerals thing is very nearly exhausted as far as I can see, so stripey foods is a wonderful new source for these types of lists! I shall try and remember that you have posted some great ideas for them in here. Thank you! <3

(Glad you like the food category idea. I went to look because it seemed like something we would have, and we didn't. :-D)

[silvercat17]

You could always move on to stripy animals or layered cocktails

Multiple Neapolitans it is! :) (I was offering suggestions - I'm of the opinion that you should get to name your own lists)

[thisbluespirit]

I ddi get to Zebradorite! XD
