COLOR YOUR WORLD is a series of threads to provide lists of synonyms for different colors. All too often, writers resort to using the same word for a color repeatedly in their writing, leading to a sometimes boring redundancy that can lend itself to making the story uninteresting at worst and ho-hum at best.
This thread series will give you more options to choose from to keep your color references fresh and inviting.
