Art rant!
I know itās stupid to hate a color BUT, if you are an artist, there is this one color that just GETS UNDER YOUR SKIN, yāknow? This one color that makes you seethe. Everyone has a color they donāt like, thatās normal. But artists? We spend so much time with colors and we learn so many color names And there will always be one that just makes you angry.
For me? Thatās AGATE!
So when you hear Agate you might think of the stone You know The pretty stone that looks so absolutely stunning? This stone?
Yeah Thereās so many colors to choose from So many beautifull colors that could be THE color pic for agate. But theyāre NOT! None of these amazing colors were chosen for the color named agate. You know WHAT was chosen?
THIS
This ugly grey green sludge color! This isnāt what I think of when I think agate! This is something Iād call droopy thundercloud or sludge NOT AGATE!
Recently came up again and needed to share my frustration with this color. Artists, please show me the color you donāt like or explain to me why you dislike the color. Letās share in our grumpiness for certain colors and be a bit happier after.
