I like pure red light (#FF0000) because its relaxing and lessens visual information overload
Baker-Miller pink is also interesting, was proposed to reduce violence and promote calmness in prison. Also very relaxing
490-510 nanometers, I love cyans and greens. Teal and turquoise are very relaxing colors to me 😃
LOL, you would love my house and decorations. Also, this.
I like #B00B69. Not only for the name, but also because it’s a really nice magenta color
Color app says “Lipstick”
I’m a fan of synthwave. AKA Outrun. Colors from that pallette on a black background are my jam. If I have to pick one, I’d go with neon purple.
What I call Parrish light - the distinctive tone that’s prominent in Maxfield Parrish’s paintings.
It’s a relatively subdued but clear reddish orange that I see most commonly with relatively uniform but thin thunderclouds at dusk. It makes blues and greens much more vivid, in spite of the fact that the overall amount of light is relatively low. And it’s glorious.

This painting of his – Daybreak – has a pale red-orange and has blues and greens that sort of jump out more because of that, I suppose. Is this what you’re referring to?
Daybreak, inspired by the landscape of Vermont and New Hampshire to create lush and romantic tones,[1] is regarded as the most popular art print of the 20th century, based on number of prints made: one for every four American homes.
The technique of glazing, using a varnish over several layers of paint at once helps to achieve the soft glow and whimsical style Parrish is so well known for.
Parrish referred to Daybreak as his “great painting”, the epitome of his work.
Pretty much.
Don’t get too hung up on the name - it’s just a personal bit of shorthand. What I’m talking about is the actual phenomenon. Parrish’s paintings are just the closest popular representation I’ve seen of it.
It seems to happen most often in late summer, when (in my area at least) afternoon thundershowers are relatively common. There are times when the clouds will roll in, but they’re not dense enough to bring rain, and just at dusk, the light through those clouds is diffused but oddly clear, so in spite of the fact that the light level is low overall, colors, and especially blues and greens, really pop.
In HSL terms, it’s essentially 100% saturation but only maybe 30% light, and since the light shifts toward red/orange, the blues and greens are the colors that stand out the most.
Favorite all-time painter!
“Raphael, imma let you finnish, but Maxfield Parrish was the one of the best painters of all time. Of all time!”
Ultraviolet. It makes other colors that much more cool just by being there. And it kills things.
The one positive to wearing contacts all the time is that my eyes are mostly protected from UV. I always think how cool that is even if I still avoid looking directly at UV lights out of caution.
Turquoise, it’s very fantasy-inspiring.
I like a yellowish/golden color I set the led bulbs in my lamps to that make it feel like an old library or bookstore.
You have a hexcode for it? Or a similar image you can link to thats the same, sounds nice
I didn’t see a hex code in the app I’m using, but it’s something like this
I think you’ll appreciate #ffcc66
I tend towards green.
Which one?
Sky green is best green.
#FF7700! I love this orange color and use it in all my tests.
#ffd0aa
i always associate it with melon (cantaloupe). And melons are nice, sweet fruits.
#00FF00
Sear my eyes with beautiful perfect green.
As I wrote this, I didn’t read that it was about light… #fca4a4 sweet pink, kinda like salmon but more red on the Hue slider. I use it as my brand color! Even though I don’t really use it much.
#F00 is vague (there’s probably some standard that I don’t know). Can you give us a wavelength?
I like short yet visible wavelengths and the shade between blue and green (around about 525nm I believe). So Purple and greenish blue.
Nope, standard hexcode (# FF 00 00 in case its a rendering issue) The Fs mean the highest output of red light, 00 green light and 00 blue light.
Not sure if this is technically correct but I’m certain its more or less right
But is there a precise wavelength that it is supposed to have? Obviously different monitors will display them differently.
#F00 is a shorthand for #ff0000. I understand what you mean but it references a composition of the brightness of three LEDs on a screen not a colour of light which is when using a screen always just red green and blue in varying quantities.
No idea, sorry, maybe you can look it up in Wikipedia or any hexcode color search site/app I think. I have an app and my Hue stuff mainly so I just experiment with that and save whatever I want to use
