Color my Weekend: I Just Don't Know What To Say

Yes, it is spring and, once again, the weather changes nature's color palette, filling the trees and gardens with pinks, purples, and yellows. It makes the poet inside me ask, "What shall I call the subtle pale green of the buds that stretch away from the branches that bore them?"

No accurate words come to mind. Let's make one up. How about verdino, meaning little green?

I love that we can make up words where we need them. Check out Merriam Webster for 10 examples of words people created or borrowed to describe color where the primary word was not enough.

And if you bring those colors indoors, Real Simple will tell you what the paint on your walls says about you.  My walls are a creamy neutral, but I try decorate with colorful objects.

I even see a bit of verdino over there.
