Fingerpaint with words of color


Search for unusual names for colors to add a layer of meaning to your writing. Choose teal, magenta, chartreuse, tangerine, or persimmon.   Discover names from house paint colors or fingernail polish.

After you have collected ten names, invent five of your own.

Brilgeen expresses green with a sheen.  Try for wrigglepink, or silvurple.

Fingerpaint with words and add musicality.  Sing them like a warblblue.

Use colors to define trust, joy, siliness and remembrance. Lead the reader into a narrative of discovery of each emotion without writing its name.
