Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and what’s that last color again? Oh yeah, violet! When I was little I was a tomboy, so I hated the color pink. I would always reach for red or blue crayons when my friends would go for the pink or purple ones. It took me until I was older to realize that maybe I judged too quickly, and now I’m happy to report that pink and purple make it into my drawings.
