It's when you're camping in a remote part of the Olympic Peninsula, and you can hear the water rushing in the nearby river. It's fresh off a glacier and glows brightly- what is that color??
It's when you're wandering around the zoo and you turn around and you face a peacock, doing that bird walk across the path. Its tail feathers shine in the sun and flutter in the breeze- what is that color??
It's when you are draped in black, staring down into the blank, unresponsive face of someone you once knew. They lay there, breathless, lifeless, and their lips are not the rich, rosy color they should be, but something different- there is no blood moving through there. What is that color??
It's if the earth were a marble, and the lush continents and plentiful oceans combined their efforts and produced one solid hue. What is that color??
It's my brother's hair when it's only a little bit faded, a few weeks having gone by since it was dyed and it looks like sea foam. What is that color?
It's when the person sitting across from you at the table draped in white is the only thing in the entire room that matters. They're talking to you animatedly, gesturing, beaming, and you're just staring into their eyes, trying to think of a way to describe them that would convey their true beauty- what is that color??
