Temp Ex Daily: 3; Barrett, Sex Lasagna Blue

Day three of my event score:

1. When programming visual digital art, at the first point where you decide to use a color, ask someone else to pick the color for you.
2. Have them explain their choice.
3. Dedicate the color to them.

I reached out to my friend Barrett over Facebook Messenger in order to pick my color. Here is an edited transcript:

Me:
hey!
hows it going?
got a second?

Barrett:
howdy
hmmmmmm
sure
what’s up?

Me:
ok, want to help me with an art project?

Barrett:
ok

Me:
alright, so here is what I’m doing
I’ve been coding, learning new programs and all that
and for a week, I’ve decided that every day, when I’m making something
at the first point where I need to choose a color in my program
i ask someone else to pick it for me

Barrett:
blue

Me:
and i am at that point right now!

Barrett:
the end
I win

Me:
ok, blue

Barrett:
I think

Me:
do you want to pick the kind of blue?
here is a color picker:

if you click that link, google search gives you a little widget

Barrett:
probably like a cobalt
I got a color picker in my brain
I majored in painting
well….started to

Me:
and then i can use the RGB code

Barrett:
ok ok

Me:
and get your pure artistic intention for this cobalt blue

Barrett:
rgb(66, 72, 244)
lol
so pure

Me:
lol
ok
so, why did you pick this blue?

Barrett:
it’s pretty
or maybe it’s my spirit color, idk
it’s bold but gentle

Me:
i like that, bold but gentle

Barrett:
like it’s going to have sex with you, but it made you a lasagna first
from scratch
very respectable

Me:
lol jesus
ok
so what would you call this blue?

Barrett:
hard not to feel special with a color like that
how about Sex Lasagna?
Do I get to invent a name or am I supposed to actually say what color it is?

Me:
This will go on a blog, and be part of a school assignment
and I will credit you with it

Barrett:
…..sooooo sex lasagna is inappropriate?

Me:
so you can call it whatever you want

Barrett:
Can I put this on my CV?
excellent. Sex Lasagna it is

Me:
Ok
then is it ok for me to copy and paste your reasoning for calling it sex lasanga

Barrett:
absolutely

Me:
ok sounds good

Barrett:
unless this is going to cause you some sort of embarrassment

Me:
and i’m going to show you where your sex lasanga blue is being used
no, no, its fine

Barrett:
lol ok
excellent

Me:
alright
