I also share the white, as well as black, as colour point: sometimes find that the 'oh, i only use colours other than white/black' stance a bit tiresome. De Stael, e.g., uses black to great effect. So: eccentricity is quite alright.Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-48742739345705642022008-08-06T04:30:00.000+01:002008-08-06T04:30:00.000+01:00I guess, to be clear about that, I shsould say tha...I guess, to be clear about that, I shsould say that I think of "neutral" as an element that serves a unifying function of some kind rather than as a particular color or group of colors. (Sometimes metallic gold is the neutral)<BR/><BR/>of course, I also insist (too often) that "white IS TOO a color." It's my favorite color -- so consider that with all the eccentricity it deserves. <BR/><BR/>as ever--<BR/>Melaniemy crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484071987163894248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-34499252985130455842008-08-05T14:01:00.000+01:002008-08-05T14:01:00.000+01:00Hm... that's an interesting one.

I'm curious and will try that - the rationality is good, made me smile - just need to find something withinout leaves or sky... no landscape then...

I always think of green and blue as neutrals, on the theory that everything goes with leaves and the sky (when leaves a=or the sky aren't featured as themselves)my crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484071987163894248noreply@blogger.com
