Banana Republic???
Ladies and Gentlemen, the gauntlet has been thrown down.
Patrick has named this the BANANA REPUBLIC Thread!
Are we to stand for this??
I must insist that the color is NOT a Banana Yellow.
I submit, for your inspection, Banana Yellow.
It is pale, greenish, softish and pungent, in a not-very-nice way.
Millennium Yellow struts. It shouts. It vibrates. It Screams!
Is that banana yellow? Would you want to make banana bread out of that?
Banana Yellow is pale. It is soft. It is... wimpy and submissive. Even infantile....
Those who would disparage the screaming yellow beauty have called it "DOT yellow"
And I admit, I can see the mistake might be made, especially with active handling turned off.
It could even be called Schoolbus Yellow:
Caterpillar Yellow:
And my favorite, Sunflower Yellow:
It even comes close to Spunky Banana Yellow (sorry, couldn't direct link because I exceeded the number of images!)
(In this photo the term "spunky" is being rather charitable.)
But Plain Banana Yellow? I think not. Am I wrong here?
Tammy
