Here at the Persephone offices in not-so-sunny Indianapolis, it’s been a particularly warm winter, but it’s been as dreary as ever. For today’s lunchtime poll, I thought I’d spruce things up with a splash of color. Looking at pretty colors always makes my day better, how about yours?
Find a picture of something or several somethings in your favorite colors, and share it with us in your comments. I’ve unfucked the uploader, you should be able to go a little crazy. (Try to keep them narrow enough to fit in the comment area, please!)
Here’s some inspiration to get you started, all from Morguefile.

Right before a huge storm.
Here’s two from our honeymoon in Hawaii. The sunset in Kauai was amazing, and while there’s not a whole lot of color in the lava picture, the red/orange pops out in a really pretty way.
Lava is such a weird yet awesome thing.
success!
My ovaries just exploded.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! He’s a cute little fart, isn’t he?
I adore this room, and these are pretty much the colors I live in. My best friend tells me I’m on the grayscale. I then indignantly point out that I have integrated color somewhere into my outfit, typically a soft pink or navy blue.
Oh color, I love color!
many (nearly all) of my desktop wallpapers come from NatGeo, and they have galleries by color, like this one:Â http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photos/life-color-purple/
(i’m guessing it’s not kosher to upload their images here, what with copyright and all, hence the link – enjoy!)
This color:
Ford makes a fiesta in this color as well. I love all colors, especially bright colors, but this neon green (and bright turquoise) make me so effing happy.
The image doesn’t seem to be working. :( I found it here though.
I like ’em all.
What does it mean?!
Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.
Oh, that is lovely.
This is gorgeous. Did you take it.
Also, does anyone happen to know how to fix my keyboard, it wont let me use a question mark, I just get this: É. Sorry for going off topic.
I didn’t take it, but dang do I wish I did!
Another good example.
I’ve been really into these dusky, macaron-type pastel colors. They’re kind of fairy-taleish, but in a Grimm way, not so candy-coated and Disneyfied.
The mouse in the blue dress looks just like the artist drew a human lady’s body and grafted an enormous mouse head on top :O Much less Disney!
Kinda reminds me of the mice in Hoffman’s Nutcracker & Mouse King.
I want to work in those offices. Or just, you know, live in that house.
This is the best magentaish picture that popped out to me.

can’t get my pic to upload. i’ll keep trying. In the meantime, imagine an adorable little blond four-year-old boy in bright red pjs making brownies.
Saskatchewan sunsets! this is my background right now :)
gorgeous!
My favorite color is cerulean, aka: that turquoisey bluey bit in the center of this gorgeous bowl.
that is a gorgeous bowl. do want.
It’s price upon request, which is never a good sign. :)
Me too! That is seriously gorgeous.
That really is gorgeous. Is that a Dale Chiluly (sp?) piece? Seems sort of like his stuff.
It is! Good eye. I had no idea who he was until I google image searched for cerulean and came across this.
I just saw an exhibit of his when I was in Las Vegas in October, and I thought it resembled some of the stuff I saw there.
After the dreariness of yesterday, this will be a welcome post!
I kinda wish I hadn’t switched my nail polish from neon fushia to dusty rose. I might switch back tonight and add some white to make it pop…
I’m looking forward to all of these pretty pictures!!
As for me, my favorite color of blue always makes me feel better!!
Totally dig the space eye candy stuff.
I usually just go to nasa.gov & use any image that I like.
