Contemporary Colors

When I was in grade school… we had only 8 colors of crayons.
Todays box of crayons, there are dozens of colors to choose from.
Life is not simple anymore…

    Wouldn’t a huge poster of this look terrific in a classroom, a child’s bedroom or playroom, in an art studio? What a fun, versatile image this is! Love the way you pointed out all those “new” colors! When I was growing up, there was green; now there’s sage, chartreuse, celery . . . you make the point perfectly here!

    great shot Maria! ... so clear and bright… nice angle too. I remember some of the names too, light “spring green”. (lower right) ...wonder if they still call it that!
