That is such a soft and gentle shade; remembrances of times past?<br /><br />Hi Jemi<br />The foggy, grey/brown of the well-to-do end of the city? I can really see Steampunk in the smoky steamy streets.<br /><br />Tess, the contrast between your two works is striking as shown in these colours. I wonder if it is your confidence and determination showing through? ;)<br /><br />Faith - Deep purple? I thins that shade always hums on the page. Are you in Ancient Rome? I always think of Ancient Rome and all things religious in deep purple. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-24296971079816285272010-04-25T19:15:27.379+01:002010-04-25T19:15:27.379+01:00Very neat question...beyond imaging my cover, I de...Very neat question...beyond imaging my cover, I definitely feel that color can best describe the mood of your book. My writing in my current WIP tends toward a deep purple--I have to remember to throw in bits of gold from time to time. <br />Great post!Faith E.

I see my novel, ...hmmm... an interesting question.<br /><br />I see my novel, With A Name Like Love in shades of green and gray. I think it is the preaching fields and historical setting.<br /><br />My new work is far more black and red. that's been fun to dip my toes into.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014195715998913268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-74588282538417556252010-04-25T14:11:31.855+01:002010-04-25T14:11:31.855+01:00Love it :)

Mostly grey/soft browns..

I don't really 'see' anything. I'll have to give it some more thought. thanks for this.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.com
