Danseuse! and in French we also use the word "ballerine" for the same meaning of ballet-ish show. But ballerine does not mean danseuse apparently, we just say "danseuse etoile".

oh my gaaaawd uic in my poor head it seems there's a fight between the ol' French and the new English

"danceuse"    :cry2: poor ol'mole…

anyway, faux frères apart, it seemed to me andy had a point there  ^-^

ok not to be naughty (and maybe you meant it as a joke) but in french we say "faux amis" when it comes to words which are spelt the same in two languages and mean different things

Naughty uic?  How that? after all my French dates back from more than 30 years ago and I'm not checking it anymore. Maybe it is not even a French anymore after 30 years. Even Pier Paolo Pasolini when he spoke about his adopted city spoke about "the present historical form of Rome". Feel free so to correct me at your pleasure. I would be grateful to you for that  :hug2:

And, there, I found a  terrible thing: since the colour is there considered as the product of luminous radiations of different wavelength, grosso modo between 390 and 740 nanometers when they impact the human eye (retina) and since we must consider also a chroma (position in the spectre), a brilliance (intensity) and a saturation (pureness in the waves distribution) it was possible to calculate the numerical value of the possible perceived by humans colours. And this value was 7.295.000.  :crazy2: Now tell me what a poor mole could do with you surface mammals  :cry2:

Blinding yourself in science? ahah :hug2: as for the henceforth shoes, well the design is nowadays femenine however it was assexual for millenia, and men wore bows in cloth as in shoes before women ahah somehow I grant that most cloth sexual designations are actually fairly old high medieval times however well to be tyrant about such is a 50's thing… the history of gay acceptance and reject actually is terribly interesting and gays should learnt it more instead of the actual focus on the 20th century only...

As for such as language well portuguese are dead set on not fusing with brazilian and brazilians are dead set on the same, why our govenment's want the union I know not why... Portuguese has become a base language for other countries let them devellop or bastardize it ... same with french and english or any other empire language.

:funny2: myr  :hug2:

Don't ask though  :-. The scientific thingy didn't seem to work so well this time for some reason… dunno  ???
So, since I was aware of that ancient say:

there is not a thing you can think to which hasn't been previously thought by an ancient Greek

I decided to go and see what Dax's ancestors had concocted about it and, as a matter of fact, they had proposed a number of interesting theories.
They more or less all agreed these colours had to stem someway as modulations/qualities of the light and above the light stood the problem of the human sight that is to say "how do we see?"
Concerning that on the Greek philosophy market it seemed to me you could find grosso modo 4 solutions.

1. a ti (something) comes out of the eye and goes to catch the object with its shape and chromatic aspects (Pitagorians, Alcmeon from Croton,  Euclid, Ptolemy…)

2. a ti comes out of the object with its shape and chromatic aspects and goes to catch the eye (Democritus and other atomists)

3. a ti comes out of the object with its shape and chromatic aspects, another ti comes out of the eye and they meet halfway (Empedocles)

4. No ti coming out from anything exists but there are only modifications happening in a "medium" placed between the eye  and the object (Plato, Aristotle)

Now myr all these things seemed ingeniously constructed but I didn't feel to  be left with a criterion for a choice  ??? …

1. lazy aproach = let the wavelength come to you
2. overworked = go and seek the wavelength
3. romantism = let us meet halfway
4. actually very realistic for the time, the wavelength is emited the attention of perception of the being is too and they meet in  medium, if they could articulate that the medium is the retina to brain process…

Manco mal (which means not bad at all) myr ^-^
Of course since the values cannot be deduced from the facts, this way, after the science, we would get outta the gnoseology too getting to a moral field instead.
Anyway of Pythagoras, the pythagoreans, the atomists we dunno much and our scarce sources are also affected by interpretation problems. About the ones you seem to prefer, Plato and Aristotle,  we know much more instead but this would deserve one of those boring posts. So how do you actually face the problems when you study the colours myr?  ^-^

I'm far more in the historical factual and hencefoth the antropological interpretation as quoted so I do not have many problems, basically it would go around to tell the client this was the colours they used dued to a, b and c, if he is interested in others, I might adapt the periods or think if the designs ever overlapped or coexisted. If not and the client really wants a huge mix of styles I use therory of colour so to adapt the tones picked = I call this frankensteining… people which have every single design period or style in their house clashing it all together ahaha.

Very nice myr  ^-^ Following the anthropological bit we could go on a lot while you might have imagined mine was a more "philosophical" focus.
This is mebbe too serious and not very chit chat though. We will come back to that in future perhaps  :hug2:
