So I was thinking – every two weeks we get that report thing and they always list colors for the terror alert levels. So far, we've gotten the following: Plum, Violent Violet, Snowflake, Evergreen, Blood Orange, Tangerine, Vermilion, Magenta, Red, Orange and Yellow.

So, I'm proposing a contest: suggest the craziest color alert level you can and one of you will win some tickets to my magic show. Or something else if magic isn't your thing. But really, it should be, because it's awesome.

Also, Murderous Magenta is already taken. Apparently it's the crazy version of regular Magenta.

menacing mauve
treacherous teal

everything's okay eggplant?

[tuxedo_magician]

Hmmm. I don't know about 'Everything's Okay Eggplant." Maybe Rockin' Red? Or Party Pink?

[you_tried]

those both sound
really really really 1990s

[tuxedo_magician]

Well, isn't that every so many years, things make a comeback?

[you_tried]

well if you're going for the retro angle I guess

[enigmaestro]

Lecherous Lime. Far more potent than Treacherous Teal.

[tuxedo_magician]

At least that one tells you exactly what's going on.

[enigmaestro]

Color theory is somewhat subjective, isn't it? I wonder if that's partially the point, you know, to keep us guessing.

[tuxedo_magician]

I wouldn't be surprised. Especially considering that you know that there has to be stuff they aren't telling us.

[enigmaestro]

I would be surprised if that wasn't the case. But surely they anticipate our suspicion? Do you suspect any emotional manipulation afoot?

[mathemagier]

I'm rather certain that 'rainbow' anything would be the greatest misuse of any color scale, and provide absolutely nothing short of mass confusion.

[tuxedo_magician]

Pretty much.

Which is sort of why I suggested this. Crazy combinations that tell us nothing and make us scratch our heads.

If they were going to use colors, I don't see why just the rainbow wouldn't suffice.

[grimreaping]

Concerning Cyan

[tuxedo_magician]

Oooo.... I like that one.

[grimreaping]

Perhaps also: Jarring Jade and Borderline Bronze.

[ He might be on board with the alliteration thing because he thinks it's more balanced. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Calm Carmine or Disastrous Dandelion?

[ Actually, this is kind of fun too. ]

[grimreaping]

This is certainly more entertaining than trying to parse the government's logic in naming things as they do.

[dumbfound]

Wait but is snowflake even a color?
Isnt that just a thing?

[tuxedo_magician]

That's what I thought! But apparently it counts as a terror warning level!

I don't get it at all.

[dumbfound]

Does that mean it's not much terror at all?
Because snow is usually not that bad.

[tuxedo_magician]

I don't know. Maybe it means BLIZZARD! or something.

[orions_shadow]

Cerulean

[tuxedo_magician]

Crazy Cerulean.

[orions_shadow]

Remind me again what this is all about?

[Yaaaawn.]

What's code crazy cerulean gonna be?

[tuxedo_magician]

The weirdest and most out there combination that we can come up with.

I dunno - the sun was shining for too many days in a row and oh no, an imPort saved a kid from a burning building, there was panic on the streets?
