Since the internet, technical information abounds - it knows no limits. Take Shamrock Green. It is #009E60 the hex code in photoshop and similar tools to specify exact colours. It is a strong, lively green tone.
"In the RBG colour space, it is 0% red, 62% green and 37.6% blue. Whereas in a CMYK color space, it is composed of 100% cyan, 0% magenta, 39.2% yellow and 38% black. It has a hue angle of 156.5 degrees, a saturation of 100% and a lightness of 31%. #009e60 color hex could be obtained by blending #00ffc0 with #003d00. Closest websafe color is: #009966."
You can see what I mean - lots of technical specifications. And the details turn out to be fascinating in this article HERE. This is colorhexa.com. Perhaps things haven’t got more complicated - they are just more available for us to read and learn about them. The article includes the simulation of how colour blindness experiences the colour.
Our watercolour class yesterday involved painting pretty little shamrocks in delicate patterns - and the lively Shamrock Green works wonderfully with these pictures. Other pictures? Not so great. Garish.
Shamrock jokes are very corny. Head over to Guinness World Records and there are records for the largest human shamrock shape, the cultivation of genetically modified plants - 63-leaf clover, and a person in the U.S. with the largest collection - 118,791 clovers.
