Pale yellow was considered, but ultimately rejected. Lavender(ish) colors were not on the table. Original intent was for some visual pop, but concept, execution, yadda yadda.
 
Well, for pure visual pop, nothing beats fluorescent chartreuse.
Pictures don't do it justice, since the color literally glows in daylight.
I wouldn't paint anything large with it, though. The paint is expensive, and most people only come with one set of eyes.

Hung out with my pal while he's on leave with his other pals, and they could NOT hold their booze lemme tell ya. Also for some reason one of them insisted on going to a dance club...in Philly...the land of a thousand pubs.

Why are the big box stores carrying fewer LED Christmas lights this year? I mean, it's very noticeable.

Everyone laughed at me when I turned 50 and started getting mailings from AARP. Since then I've saved a shitload of money on hotel rooms and rental cars for a trip I was making anyway. And today I get a letter in the mail. After going online and filling it out, I get this (bold emphasis mine):

Just saw someone walking their pet fox, on a leash, down the street. And I about crashed my car. SO CUTE and my heart palpitated!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I first moved up here to Virginia, we stayed in an apartment for a year. Our sliding back door was a couple dozen yards from a bit of forest, and one day we spotted a red fox out back jumping around and playing with the dogs' toys. My wife about fainted with excitement.

The wildlife up here is definitely cuter than the wildlife in Texas.

Just booked a trip for me and my girlfriend. Flying to Istanbul for a week. Thanks to knowing people who know people I get a great rebate at a 4 Star hotel. Sadly I will have to wait till the end of February.

Is this a special showing with the volume turned way up, giant print subtitles, and special "angry time" so you can all complain about how they don't make movies like they used to?
 
I've been getting them since my 20's, because I once ordered something out of a Harriet Carter catalog, and that must've put me on some sort of list.

Last week I interviewed someone for an editor position in my department. The interviewee reminded me a lot of a female friend of mine, in both appearance and mannerisms, to the point where I was actually slightly confused when I walked into the interview room. Actually the interviewee's slightly taller and hotter than my friend, but otherwise they're very similar. She did well in the interview, and we offered her the job.

Afterwards I sent a message to my female friend, and said, "Hey I just interviewed someone who looked a lot like you!"

She replied, "You're about to make a dirty joke about me working under you, aren't you?"

Me: (frantic backspacing to delete the joke about working under me) "Nooooo... of course not! I would never say anything like that!"

Anyway, as a side note, the interviewee notified us today that she won't be taking our job offer. She said it's because she found a more suitable position elsewhere, but I think it might've been because I might've been staring at her inappropriately throughout the interview.

Probably your Louis CK imitation didn't help.
