A to Z Challenge: Writing Colors - Bondi Blue


Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to the A-to-Z Challenge!

This year, I decided to provide different colors for descriptive purposes in writing. I'm using the website Color-ize to look at an alphabetical list of colors that we can use instead of using the same basic colors we know off the top of our heads. One color can come in so many shades, so why not take a look at them? :)

Today's color in my Shades of Blue series: Bondi Blue.


This color irks the ROYGBIV color scheme in my closet! It definitely fits somewhere after the greenish blue shirts, but does it go before or after the bluish green shirts?...Argh! It is a beautiful color, though. There's a Bondi Beach, right? Is that where that comes from? Man, now I want to go on vacation.

What a fun topic for the A to Z! I am really impacted by color! Yesterday's azure is among my favorites ~ It's what fills part of my closet and drawers! Have a good one!

I couldn't figure out what ROY...was until I asked my 7yo son :-)

This blue reminds me of a green...but I am a little color-blind, which is why my closet is not as organized :-)
