I just know that when Romeo and Juliet premiered two ye olde girlies in the pit at intermission were like didst thou see the sparks betwixt Tybalt and mercutio… aye and not from their swords alone!
navy blue was literally named for its use in the BRITISH ROYAL NAVY in the mid-1700’s
maroon is literally an evolution of french marron, meaning chestnut. its a brownish red. like a chestnut.
like, the kids making these memes need to take a fucking elective that isnt a sport. do teenage boys still think that “art is for fags” or something? learn colors, you sound stupid!!!!
This is like hilarious but also stop being pretentious, it’s a perfectly fair comparison to make. Navy blue = a darker and more desaturated blue and maroon = a darker and more desaturated red. The modifier “navy” is so disconnected enough from its roots that it makes sense for it to assume a new contextual meaning. Sure, the name comes from the British navy using it, but what we’re talking about is how it modifies a color.
i do not care how pretentious i sound, this joke is picking the lowest-hanging fruit ive ever seen. its LAZY.
it comes across as “haha look at this funny r/showerthoughts post i saw!!! so relatable, am i right fellow non-artists?”
itsa low effort joke aimed at people who could not be paid to give a shit about trying any artistic medium, but lose their mind over a notebook sketch someone does in 15 minutes and scream “I WISH I COULD DRAW LIKE YOU” as if it doesnt take years of practice; like the artist was born with an “artistic gene” or some bullshit
all i ask is that people try just a little bit more to not sound dumb when theyre trying to be funny
This guy thinks it’s an insult to artists where as I’m pretty sure a sizable amount of the notes on this post are artists saying ‘’YEAH THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!! NAVY RED!!’’
if you don’t know the name origin of every single color ever then you aren’t an artist
