Sunlight Green


HEX:
#D6FF35

RGB:
214/255/53

Description:
Sometimes when the sun hits the grass, the grass appears to be shining. Alternatively, if the sun were green, I imagine its rays might even shine with this hue.

Rosario


HEX:
#C40B55

RGB:
196/11/85

Description:
This is one of the main colors used for the general layouts of a manga and anime series I enjoy, called "Rosario + Vampire."

Martian Snow

What does snow look like on Mars, you ask? Here's your answer! :)

Lightning Chartreuse Yellow


HEX:
#E3FE00

RGB:
227/254/0

Description:
The University of Oregon Ducks use "Lightning Yellow" as one of their colors, so I wanted to create a slightly greener variant to show my pride!

Dyluck Green


HEX:
#6ED026

RGB:
110/208/38

Description:
Dyluck is a minor character from Secret of Mana; a video game for the Super Nintendo. His hair is yellow and his cape is blue. So why is his namesake being used for a shade of green when nary-a-pixel shows any trace of this color? Well... I don't really know, but I think it may have something to do with it sounding similar to a duck. Some ducks are green! Or, so I've heard.

Scarlet Ray


HEX:
#EF0748

RGB:
239/7/72

Description:
A brighter, more vibrant, scarlet hue that I thought was pretty cool.

Altalea


HEX:
#F6F6B0


RGB:
246/246/176


Description:
Just a simple and clean hue I created for one of my more benevolent screenplay characters.

Galuda Blue


HEX:
#3366FF

RGB:
51/102/255

Description:
Named after an awesome Arcade shooting game called "Espgaluda". The sky hues are seen often within the game and its various artworks, but this shade of blue was the most prevalent.

Marionberry


HEX:
#410130

RGB:
65/1/48

Description:
Otherwise known as a "Marion blackberry," this is a hybrid berry grown in Oregon, USA that essentially looks and tastes like a boysenberry and blackberry mix.

Lavender Honey


HEX:
#E6CF51

RGB:
230/207/81

Description:
My first taste of Lavender Honey was with some type of Mexican cheese, which somehow made an outstanding combination. Spun Lavender Honey generally looks like this.

Pickled Cherry Blossom


HEX:
#F086B3

RGB:
240/134/179

Description:
While looking for unique shades of cherry blossom leaves, I stumbled upon a few photos of what they looked like pickled. Even when pickled, they still retain nearly the same pink hue.

Duke of Earl


HEX:
#728994

RGB:
114/137/148

Description:
A little (Earl) grey, a little royal blue, and this is what resulted.

Peach Green


HEX:
#C3FF68

RGB:
195/255/104

Description:
While it looks like I chose this color to resemble a peach that's yet to ripe, it's actually the precise shade used for Princess Peach's green alternate uniform in the Smash Bros. series.

Merit


HEX:
#5E0C23

RGB:
94/12/35

Named for a friend of mine who inspired me to get a blog sooner than later. Merit is a professional artist and designer whose message board avatars usually have a trace of burgundy.

Light Green Bow


HEX:
#A4FF35


RGB:
164/255/53

Description:
In search of my absolute favorite color, I mixed a couple of my favorites: chartreuse-yellow and lime. The title came from imagining what a bright and celebratory shade of green might be called. An alternate title I'd considered was: "The Gift of Green."
