MY FAVOURITE COLOUR BLUE

THERE ABOVE THE TREES ON THE LEFT
RIGHT THERE
THAT IS NEARLY IT


I am so fucking picky about this colour, you would not believe it. DARK blue. But not FLAT dark blue. Not navy. Not indigo. That blue right there. Cobalt? Ultramarine? Lapis? Bristol blue? Twilight blue? Rothko blue? Whatever, there it is.

(True to me being a weirdo I think this is more some kind of shifting light frequency than a stable colour, because one of the few places I've seen it is in the freaking Bruce Springsteen video for "Streets of Philadelphia" -- hated the movie, great song though -- at about 2:18 in when he's walking with the bridge in the background.) (And of course the damn screencap doesn't fucking capture it at all. SIGH.)
