Have any of you had people arou░d you lose the Retrospec app all at once? My family all lost the app within the same week, but it can't just be a coinc░dence. I don't think they broke any rules or any░hing...

Anyway, it's been a few weeks sin░e then, but if any of you know Hinata, Rise, or Chiaki Aoi, try not to bother them too much about Retrosp░c, if you can.

Also, if anyo░e has some free time on their hands and wouldn't min░ stopping by Palettes in Tisse, I could use a hand. There's no way to get every color ju░t right, but it's kind of depressing to have an art st░re where all of the paints and other art supplies are all the same few colors (but not colorle░s anymore, at least). I'm a painter to begin with, and my color's something like this, so I'm happy to help out with pai░ting anything in return!

I've always wondered what the difference is between lilac and lavender. I've looked it up before, but I feel like I always get conflicting information. Or maybe I just have a bad memory... I got most of my color knowledge from crayons.

Anyway, if we work together, we might be able to make things a really lovely cornflower!

Lilac is a little more pinkish while lavender is more bluish!
Crayons ar░ definitely the best way to learn about colors
Crayons and paint colors! Not that it'll help with everythi░g all gray...

If you have some extra time, that would be great!
We've only got light bl░e and lime green in the shop right now, so that would help

[floret]

So lavender's more bluish. Like in the "lavender's blue" rhyme. I'll try to remember this time.

I wonder what color it would turn if I painted over the lime green things?

[akatatai]

I don't think anyone's going to get really mad i░ you don't know, but

If you do a thick enough layer, shouldn't it be the new color instead?
I've done tons of pain░ing this month, but I haven't tried coloring anything that already has color

[floret]

Maybe...
I haven't figured out all the rules yet. Does the color mixing thing only work if the paint is still wet / you're both painting at the same time? (I mean, I guess you just said you don't know...
We could do an experiment maybe?
Then again it's not that important)

[akatatai]

I'm not sure either, so an experiment sounds good!
It'll be nice to figure out the way paint colors work now that real world rules don't apply to anything anymore

[floret]

Urgh.
When you put it that way, it makes me wonder how worthwhile it even is to try to figure out. I mean, it seems pretty likely that whatever we discover will stop being true within a month or so...
Then again, temporary knowledge is better than no knowledge at all, right?

[akatatai]

I *hope* this only lasts a month
Remember when we lost the other colors? That took longer... not that I was here for it, but still

[floret]

You remember it, though, right? It just seemed normal at the time. That's how it was for me... I mean, I really thought "blue" and "green" were made-up. It was weird. (Although I was on the app by the time the colors came back.)

Also, it was really inconvenient, because some of the clothes I ended up buying during that time suddenly turned green later!

[akatatai]

I remember it, I just didn't get what was going on, like everyone else without Retrospec

Tell me about it! All of my paintings using those colors were all screwed up
It's a bunch of messy shades of blue and green and actual grey paint since I guess I couldn't tell them apart on the palette
How embarrassing...

[floret]

Oh, that happened to Mr. Rugievit too, kind of! He's a fashion designer, right? And he created this whole fall collection using gray and red, but then all the gray turned BRIGHT green, and it looked like it was a super garish Christmas thing.

[akatatai]

A whole collection?!
That's such a waste! Much more than just a few paintings!

[floret]

Yeah it was really awful... he was so upset...
...
So I guess the moral of the story is that it's not great when colors behave in unpredictable ways.

[akatatai]

I guess we just have to hope all of the colors get fixed soon for all of our sakes
