Words are amazing and endless! (and I love them so much 😭) Colors are especially great, I think, because you can pull them from literally anywhere and get a totally different flavor.

I generally like to pull from gemstones, metalworking, and nature. But if by “on the same level” you mean equally obscure, here are some fun color words that I've come across:

foxfire the phosphorescent light emitted by certain fungi

verdant of the bright green color of lush grass

bittersweet a plant typically bearing poisonous red berries

sanguineous Bloodred; of, relating to, or involving bloodshed

cyanean or cyaneous cerulean; of dark blue

aurous of, relating to, or containing gold

Fandom-specific colors are always fun too, and can make your writing feel more immersive. Breath of the Wild especially has loads of compendium entries and places to pull colors from. And of course you can always google “Words for (color)” or pop the color into your favorite online thesaurus for more options. (Thesaurus.com or Power Thesaurus, for example.)

I know what you mean! My parents don’t let their drinking affect their jobs, and what not, so most people probably wouldn’t consider it a problem. But she’s a completely different person when she drinks, and it sucks for every in the house.

Yeah, exactly the same as me! My mum never gets too bad that it will affect her driving in the morning during week days so she's still capable of going to work and all that stuff but she still turns into a different person and it sucks.

If you ever wanna talk, feel free to message me! I totally understand how shitty the situation can be.

I know exactly how you feel. All three of my parents get drunk nearly every day, and there’s pretty much no escape no matter who I’m spending the weekend with. It’s frustrating, and hard.
