1. Easy Solutions Or Adding To Primary Ones?

My Dad and I argued about colors. I knew there were colors out there somewhere I hadn’t seen yet but he, with a PHD in electrical engineering, thought he knew better. I’d been retaught color concepts for years but they never stuck so I decided if I had a few more to work with the new ones would solve my problems. I wasn’t looking for logic, just easy answers.
Some animals can see further into either side of the spectrum than I. Do bunches of bugs say to each other, “Did you see what she’s wearing today? I wouldn’t put those 37 colors together!”
Perhaps in the near future we’ll improve ourselves to see more and throw artists into a tizzy when they try to apply color concepts to 27 primary colors instead of three!
In my children’s picture book, Gracie’s Grandfather Makes Trouble, the grandfather looks for easy solutions to his family problem, too many snakes and neighborhood shopping situations, but Gracie one ups him. Curious? find this book at Amazon.
