Say it with colour

Are you spending too much time writing? Need a distraction? No, I thought not. Nonetheless, Colour Theory is teaching me that our shadow selves are not pitch dark, but are shades of nameless violet, wine and earth. There are, of course, those who are paid money by house paint manufacturers to give names to the nameless. I could call my shadow self Midsummer Night, Stormy Monday, Wrought Iron, or more mysteriously, Proposal, Pashmina or Pensive. Out the window numberless shades of nameless green flash in the sun.
