Gain inspiration from a colour. Any colour at all, but for those who are lacking inspiration I will list the colours below. When I say inspiration, I mean I want you to:
- Personify it; make the colour have a voice
- bring forth memory; colours can sometimes remind us of things or situations, let me know what those are for you
- Effect; what effect do the colour have on you
Those are some suggestions, you can go another route if you like.
I hope to get a fair few. I will leave PW open - just incase.
But if there's no relevance and no colour in AN or title -
then I'll have to DQ you. Though you can enter again.
Only rules are as follows:
Label entries correctly
Put colour in AN, if not in title
Be creative
Can enter more than once.
List of colours, if you need help:
azure
brown
beige
blue
black
fuschia
green
honeydew
indigo
lavender
lilac
maroon
orange
purple
pink
red
teal
tan
violet
white [technically not a colour, but we'll allow it]
yellow

hmm... Seems like a good contest. I think I might enter.
What does 'honeydew' look like? Is it a light green?

I'm pretty sure it's an orangey brown colour. Like hoeny, I suppose

okay, cool. Honey is a pretty color, too.
