Some recent CSs on swaps have really slipped into a boring rut...as far as color.

Want color ideas?

Thanks.. I can see a metallic luster on some new ones would be eye poppers..

I don't remember Smalt at all. I always liked Burnt Sienna. You want to have fun? Look at some of Crayola's colors today. Timberwolf, Outer Space, Inch Worm, Shadow, Mountain Meadow. These are colors?

Those are marketing names for colors....the "Cardinal" is interesting too.

Fucsia is the one that comes to mind. In the printing trade I was exposed to a LOT of eye popping colors. I opened a box of sheet stock labeled "Fucsia" and WOW!

Thanks for the link! I was forgetting what wild and wonderfull colors there are.
