I just came across your substack and I'm so excited to read your entire archive! Love colours and everything about them. That Hot Duck is truly so beautiful and I love the patch of fulvous (yes, truly an awful name) on his head. I have a small piece of amber and I've never realised how browns and browny-yellows can belong to the jewel-toned family. Can't wait to read more from you!
wow this is fascinating! A color I definitely had never heard of! And I hear you about the colors with odd or even ugly names...have you ever seen the short film by Kenneth Anger called "Puce Moment"? worth a watch!
Had no idea about fulvous!! Excited for these stories :)
Let me know if there’s any color you want to read about! I’m thinking some shade of white soon because there are so, so many weird ones
White is fascinating. Also always enthused about blues and greens!

This is so interesting, I can't wait to read more! Fulvous is indeed an unfortunate name but the color itself sounds pretty.
