I wanted a Trace to get going at the moment, however as soon as I knew the colour we had been in search of was YELLOW, it was simple breezy going till the ultimate phrase.
I might quibble that SAFFRON is a shade of orange, however there appears to be some debate over it being each orange and yellow.
GOLDENROD isn’t a shade I’ve heard of earlier than. Google’s AI search device tells me it’s named after goldenrod flowers and it’s a shade that conveys “a way of heat, cheerfulness, and pure magnificence”. In the meantime, in response to Wikipedia’s web page on Goldenrod (shade): “It’s the shade of paper that the Church of Scientology’s Ethics Division prints its suppressive particular person declarations on, giving rise to the time period ‘golden-rodding’.” Fascinating.
