She studied at the University of the Arts and Florida State University before settling down and graduating from Temple University. She now resides in her hometown of Dover, DE, where she spends most of her time at work or at church. She loves fantasies, superheroes, is a trekkie and a brown coat. She loves television and lives for Final Fantasy video games, having collected most of them. She has read a myriad of authors, and her favorite authors change whenever she finds a new book that changes her life... "When you can't run, you crawl.

A to Z Challenge: Writing Colors - Ultramarine


As I tell my ladies at Zumba, we are in the home stretch!
Welcome back to the A to Z Challenge!

This year, I have been providing different colors for descriptive purposes in writing 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; why not take a look at them?

Today's color is: Ultramarine.


Go Google-Image this color. Go on.

What action figure is that?? lol Some of these colors pop up the weirdest results. Is it some weird Omega-force doll or something? Oh well.

Blue used to be my favorite color, and this beautiful dark blue is one of the reasons why. It's so strong and rich in color. Ultramarine is an interesting word as well, and is apparently associated with superheroes. It would make a pretty cool sci-fi or mutant hair color.
