There are three weeks in spring - around April - when the trees start sprouting their leaves. And for three weeks the beech leaves have such an incredible light green before they turn darker.

It's so fragile, yet so vibrant. The sun shines through the leaves and illuminates them from the inside. It's a bit milky or hazy but also unbelievably clear and honest. Going through a beech grove during that time feels like I'm in Lothlórien.

Zima Blue - #5BC2E7

It's the colour chosen for Love, Death and Robots adaptation of Alastair Reynolds' Zima Blue. One of my favourite episodes, and the short story is even better.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

These two are my most favourite! Both alone and in combination! 😃

When I was young I was all about black. Not goth or emo, but I only really had black clothing and would take the un-coloured option every time. Now that I'm in my late 40s, I really love green. The bright green of spring grass on a sunny day, because the tans and browns of Australian summer and autumn and the greys of winter really wash out the palette of the countryside and the olive greens and blues of eucalyptus are dull, muted colours. My clothes are a lot more colourful, now, too.

Brown. More specifically rust. I tend to enjoy the redder hues more than the yellow these days. But a good amber is beautiful.

Blue-yellow. Need significant 5HT2A activation to see it if you catch my serotonin.

[–] aphaits@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Teal & Orange and also Black

Basically Tron Legacy

[–] Kng@feddit.rocks 2 points 2 weeks ago

Blue But really I don't care unless I am playing a board game

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

For cars: black. Everything else: olive green

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Green. But for clothes I prefer different shades of gray or blue.

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Dark Purple

[–] Berry_Bows@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Red, forever and always. I prefer brighter reds (like vermillion) over darker or more muted shades, but for the most part, red is red and it makes me happy!

[–] rheanne9295@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I like pink, white and any pastel color

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago
