Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 10, 2014

So unicorns have synesthesia.

Reminds me of the C&H conversation where Hobbes tells Calvin animals have different words describe smells. Wet leaves smell snipped whereas as Calvin smells (in a joking manner) terrible.

“Blurple”… Sounds like the color of Blueberries.

…NICE Delicious Color!!

Blurple looks somewhat like octarine, only dirtier.

Exactly! Octarine is a pure magic color. Blurple is a color of mere non-magical feathery creatures.

But…I like songbirds in the spring.

wow why would any one want to see grouse colors?

I envy you.My world is bland.

Agreed Phoebe.

Bicycle companies do strange colour names. One was “Purpleen” (purple from one angle, green from another). I had my wife in hysterics telling her (with Irish accent) about my daughter Purpleen, and singing “I’ll Take You Home Again, Purpleen”.

What about heliotrope? Is that a real color?

Heliotrope is a type of flower, or the color of that flower.

Blurple = Blue + Purple…And all this time, I’ve been calling it “Indigo”. I rather like Indigo.

“Blurple” is commonly used by nailpolish enthusiasts to describe blue polish with purple undertones.

“SIMPSONS did it”

(“bleen” is the color which is a cross between the colors of “blood” and “spleen”)

Iirc bart simpson invented a color called bleen (cross between blood and spleen)

(simpsons did it lol)
