3:10 / Symbols part 2 / Enhancements E

Last week was a half-hour episode on Symbolic Numbers. This week we’re all about symbolic colors, and we have our regular length: long enough to fix a quick dinner, drive a short commute, or take a brisk walk.

We explain the 3 primaries red, blue, yellow; the neutrals black, white, grey; the metals silver and gold; and the vivid purple, green, and orange. Can’t leave out brown, the color of old sacrifice.

Join us for ways to enhance your writing by changing a single word.

It’s the Enhancement series, on The Write Focus.
