Once upon a time, colors had charming and suggestive names, names that mirrored their beauty and uniqueness through images coming from a real and remarkable scenario that this life is in the position of giving us everyday.
Dusk, Bagdad, Aventurine, Bird of Paradise, Bois de Rose, Cendre de Rose, Dust of Paris, Terre de Cuba, Havannah, London Smoke, Russian Flame, Tilleul Rose de Parnasse...
Orange used to be called for example Mandarin, Trocadero or Lucifer.
Eau de Ganges, Palestine, Prune de Monsieur.
Just for Green, there were: Adriatic, American, Azoff, Bosphore, Chinese, Corinthe, Indian and Metternich, Pomona and Spring.
Bright gold was named Apollo.
There was a time, when the names of the colors were a reminder for they were stolen from nature..today the name of the color is only defined by the psychotherapeutic effects addressed to the self.
Giving is the future. Or rather giving back.
