What colour would it be?

If you took everything that you own, and ground it up into a fine powder, and then mixed it thoroughly, what colour do you think it would be?

I'm not suggesting that you actually try this at home.

Probably brown as that seems to be a predominant color in my home.

A BLUISH BROWN (about 70% cyan, 40% yellow, 20% red) because green and violet are the main colors here, but I have a whole rainbows going everywhere, (crystals, door curtains, jewelry, wardrobe, knick-knacks, etc.) colored lights, etc.
I studied quite a lot of advanced color theory (practical, theoretical, perceptual, metaphysical). I had many reasons to call myself Kristal. I've made my new advances in my pen prototype; soon it will change to infinite colors in mid stroke as easily as one changes the width of a brush stroke.

not dutch, gun metal, delphinium, slate, or cobalt-aquamarine-chartreuse-periwinkle-turquoise-peacock blue?

Not in color mixing teminology; 0-0-0 CYM is white, 100-100-100 is black, 100-100-0 is 0-100-100 makes Red (orange is about 0-100-70) 100-0-100 makes Blue.
The three primaries CYM have as their secondaries RGB. When mixing light the 3 primaries are RGB (like the dots on your monitor or TV) and the secondaries (mixes halfway between) are CYM; In light, red and green make yellow. In light 100-100-100 is white and 0-0-0 is black. These are theoretical. Software like Photoshop shifts the numbers a few percent depending on the print process used.
People are incorectly taught that Red, Yellow, & Blue are the painting primaries. Red is actually a mix of magenta & yellow. Blue is actually a mix of cyan and magenta. Pure Purple is made from cyan and magenta - if you use red you are introducing some yellow and get a muddy purple. Likewise for greens - if you use blue instead of cyan you are introducing some magenta and get something a bit foresty. The only good thing about the incorrect primaries is that they automatically give paintings a forest quality. Look at Japanese paintings though, they have brilliant colors more frequently that implies they don't mix paints, or use the correct theory (which printers have known for nearly a century).

I have my great-great grandmothers paint set beside me. My mom is a full time artist. One of my degress is in art (studio & history). I can explain color in terms of lighting tempurature, wave spectrum, 3D rectalinear and 3D CIE models. I can explain why we see what we see given our types of eyes and what other types of alien eyes would be capable of seeing, given different cone quantities. I've worked on a an 'Albers' filter for Photoshop that creates the illusion of constant color (in movie subtitles for instance) by actually shifting the color to compensate for the perceptual shift from the contrast to diverse adjacent colors (for instance a yellow-gray line will appear yellow on a gray back ground, and gray on a yellow background, so the color needs tweaked depending on what's nearby if you always want it to appear yellow-gray).
Colors are how I sort all my cognitive/perceptual/mystical experiences.

i have a sweater i define as a labrador blue color, if i could show it to you you would see what color i mean. there is a paint color by that name also. it's a very grey-blue, but doesn't look like both colors. some people say its grey, some people say its blue, if that makes any sense. but no, i don't have any lab specimens!

I know it. It's much softer than the color of the stone. For a moment I had accidentally pictured belinite which is really cool. It's the only stone I know in the same clinic formanion as quartz crystal, but its jet black instead of clear; A curious coincidence like the cosmological timing that makes the dark side of the moon possible.

I love it too. I saw a great 10" smoky quartz ball with a deity in it. They offered it to me for $750 (a months funding for me). I then pointed out what was inside and they figured they could get $5000 for it. I then had a meditation that night of her history which ended in volcanic disastor.

i had an obsidian crystal ball for years, i don't remember what i did with it. it was very cool, it had "poles" of reflective gold on the top and bottom, it was very unique. i bought it in 1988 at a roadside stand in ponchaq springs , co. for 50$ and carried it with me for about ten years.

Sounds quite powerful, like the spheres of creation, also much like the means I used to create streams of positive and negative creation running through my house. My concentration is on earth restoration and social activism these days, now that I see I'm free to transcend it if I wish.

When we moved here the carpet was some strange shade of cream/brown.I couldn't stand it,so when we got a settlement from an on going case,we decide we'd change it to a midnight blue,however the company didn't have the deepest shade of midnight that I had wanted,so I had to settle for the black.

Mine is coffee orange. I did a test a test spot of bleach, and turns a lovely bright tangerine (like my hair did (actually hair was golden hawk in a day)). I want to do the walls in bright lavendar and granny apple, and a wall of the kitchen in bright canary yellow.

I like the granny apple/lavender.Uuuhh,bright canary yellow? I tend to back away from the warm colors.I'm more of a cool color person myself.However,that may be your Aries showing in full bloom.

They keep getting warmer and brighter over the years. A few years ago it was all jewel tones (mostly cool), before that, dark mettalic cool jewel tones like dark platinum emerald. Mint and Violet both have dual roles, being on the 'cusp' of warm and cool. I love them together because they create a serene dazzling electric nature vibrancy.
Yes, my Aries nature has been waking. My kitchen wall are covered with drying roses of bright yellow with scarlet fringes. Lots of yellow, orange, and a touch of red has been filling my life after all these years green, blue, and purple.

Perhaps you were over due for a burst of color change.I think I maybe too.But not the warm colors.I would really be feeling the desert heat then.For me I gotta go with the coolness water colors.

What haven't you tried yet. think in terms of Palettes: Pastel, Easter desert camoflage, Carribean, Dutch, Nile heiroglyphs, smoky quartz, fertile mesopotamian rust, lollipops, fruit-filled chocolates, primary combos, tertiary combos, japanese printers colors, 70's chinese toy colors.

Autumn colors. I've only this last year got into that in the slightest. I went from Winter to Summer to Spring to Autumn. I think it's time for a higher level of Summer palette for me next.
