Today is my birthday!

If you'd like to do something for me for my birthday, would you please reply to this with—or by other means send me— something with colors you liked? Like an image or a video or a link. Music would also be acceptable if it gives you a strong synesthesiac association with color.

If this request confuses you, here are some examples of images with colors I found striking [Artists: Laurie Barmore, Vian Borchert, Erica Aurahack]. But your reply can be whatever colors you like.

@mcc what a lovely request. I'll start with some Moebius palettes and might post something else later. I love good color

@mcc There's something to be said for fully developing a specific aesthetic. For several years Mike Mignola honed contrast, negative space, and ~~~vibes~~~

@http_error_418 @mcc Monstress is by far my favorite comic currently publishing and the story is just about as great as the art.

@mcc Maybe I'm too late for this, but your wish reminded me of a sunset I saw in Sirmione, Italy, a few years ago… =]

muhanga,

@mcc here is two trees that I found some time ago. Still like how different they are in color.

@mcc HBD! Here is a photo I took in December. Lovely filtered light at the Conservatory at the zoo, then thru a 1960's-era 200mm f4 asahi pentax super takumar-- lenses known for their reds and greens-- then raw processed thru software I made that does quasi-physical things to the colours but not in a typical photo editor way.

@PsySal @mcc woah that thing is so red I can tell it apart even with my color blindness

@mcc I’ve had it as my phone background for years, I love all the shades of blue and green in the Galaxy Warp.

@mcc Happy birthday Andi. Here is a castle rendered in Apple II "hi-res graphics," which is a graphics mode that only barely "supports" color at all by exploiting quirks in NTSC (called "artifact color") to allow plotting six different colors, none of them gray.

@mcc My favourite colour is red, and somehow my favourite photos feature the colour blue 💙
Happy birthday 🎂!

@mcc One time, I tried shooting photos with Velvia 50 slide film but didn't get around to developing the film for about 11 years, and when I finally did, it turned out that I had taken the pictures on Mars.

@mcc Happy birthday!
I love the visuals in Wong Kar-Wai movies, and I love traditional Asian outfits. And props designers for Mrs. Chan's dresses in In The Mood for Love took this combo to a whole new level. This one probably one of my favorite ones (she had quite a wardrobe!)

@mcc happy birthday!

consider: the red-brown and black of a dying ember

A curled-up woolly bear caterpillar. It is black at the ends and red-brown in the middle.

@mcc This is Georgia O'Keefe's "Blue and Green Music." I got to go to the Art Institute of Chicago a month ago, and this really captured me.
