I've been thinking about it for about a week - how many colors we can turn, both literally and otherwise. These thoughts came to me in that space between sleeping and waking one morning last week.
Red: Flushing, blushing, physical over-exertion, anger, fury, sunburn...
Orange: Too much beta-carotene ingestion (try eating pounds of carrots and see what happens)...
Yellow: Liver failure, fear, cowardice, also derogatory for Asian I think, which pisses me off...
Green: Envy, sometimes also associated with nausea, but I don't believe that faces ever turn green literally...
Blue: Lack of oxygen, face paint...
Purple: Extreme physical over-exertion, face paint...
White: Blood draining from one's face (induced by fear, illness, whatever), face paint...
Black: Moles, malignant melanoma, stuff the football players use under their eyes to alleviate glare...and face paint.
Yes, I am crazy. Thanks for wondering, and thanks for reading!
On a culinary note, I am roasting cod with pesto and pistachio crumb topping, simmering brown rice with black beans, and have already created a salad of Bibb lettuce, tomato, feta, spicy olives, and red onion.
Happy days are here again! A change has come.
And dear readers, feel free to augment my color cause list. I'm going to eat dinner now.
