There's a favourite everything and anything if you search the internet. That seems to be an easy way to post something and then show sufficient ads to generate revenue. Most of the articles just make things up. But here's a question: do we have a favourite colour?
It turns out to be Marrs green - it is a shade of green that in 2017 won 'The World's Favourite Colour', a major global survey by British paper merchant G . F Smith.It is a rich teal hue. The color was submitted by Annie Marrs, a UNESCO worker from Dundee, who was inspired by the River Tay.
The survey received 30,000 submissions from over 100 countries via online polling since it launched in January 2017. Marrs green became the 51st shade of the un-coated paper range, Colorplan.
What's notable about Dundee, the city Annie Marrs comes from? Starting in 2018, the Dundee City Council signed up to the EU Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy. Their target was 40% emission reduction by 2030. They have already achieved a 28% reduction with low carbon projects. It has the largest EV fleet of any local authority in the UK and has 75 charging posts/stations. It is participating in the most ambitious hydrogen fuel deployment along with 30 European cities to build hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, and large scale deployment of fuel cell buses.
There is a global covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy with North America - Canada. You can see the Global Covenant of Mayors in Canada HERE. Burlington, Hamilton, and St. Catharines in our area are all on the list. That one is HERE. And going to St. Catharines' website, one of their activities is to replace their fleets with electric vehicles. I guess it is more and faster is what is needed now.
Back to Marrs Green. Here's a screen shot from my computer. It shows Photoshop's the Color picker over my favourite montage texture (the back of the water fountain at the Cloud Garden). I've used this a lot for in the montage series of images.
Isn't it on target with Mars Green. One can go into the colour picker and match up with Marrs Green - Red - 0 , Green and Blue are 140. You can see the little circle, and then the new and current colours are Mars Green. The grunge image's very bottom colours match to Marrs Green.
