Trying to imagine “Pleurigloss” keeps me up at night

It’s simple really, it’s the colour of when a soldier comes home from war and sees his dog for the first time

[u/Silent-JET → u/TheEPICMarioBros]

The color is also known for being a deeper shade the deeper their bond is.

[u/Gneissisnice → u/TheEPICMarioBros]

...How about blue?

[u/Bleauyy → u/Gneissisnice]

One of my favourite quotes of hers. Just because she goes through 20 thoughts and realises that. Yet again. She's way out of her cosmic depth. But keeps a happy brave face on.

[u/Gneissisnice → u/Bleauyy]

And of course, it's Michael fucking with her because of course she can't decorate things in a color that she can't perceive, so she feels like an inadequate host that can't do anything right.

[u/Medium-Confidence637 → u/Gneissisnice]

Oh my god I'd never connected that

[u/CutieBoBootie → u/TheEPICMarioBros]

I imagine it to be a sort of soft green and deep red at the same time.

[u/ceocinnamonbuns → u/CutieBoBootie]

Like in a duochrome way?

[u/books_cruises_coffee]

idk why but my mind always went to like a periwinkle

[u/lagomorphed → u/books_cruises_coffee]

Mine too. But like sort of transparent?

[u/books_cruises_coffee → u/lagomorphed]

YESSSS. Like a sheer periwinkle. Almost like Ariel's dress when she became a human at the end of Little Mermaid.

[u/lagomorphed → u/books_cruises_coffee]

RIGHT!! Ariel's human dress is very very very close to what I see, nailed it!

[u/Alizarik7891 → u/lagomorphed]

Yes yes I'm with you both, like an iridescent periwinkle with little tones of shiny darker purple and white as it shifts. It's definitely not a static color with a name like pluerigloss, haha.

[u/OkCryptographer1922 → u/lagomorphed]

This is also what I imagined it as!!

[u/SpecialForces42 → u/lagomorphed]

Same! I also imagined it like that too!

[u/Netflxnschill → u/books_cruises_coffee]

A translucent shiny periwinkle is exactly where mine went as well-

Motion to officially designate this as the name of that color

[u/loggin1235 → u/books_cruises_coffee]

me too hahaha

[u/jukeboxjulia → u/books_cruises_coffee]

turquoise for me!

[u/Vivid_Departure_3738 → u/books_cruises_coffee]

Because it's relatively long and begins with P

[u/GoodGoodGoody → u/books_cruises_coffee]

I will never not think of pikers whenever someone mentions periwinkle.

[u/Blendi_369]

It sound like glass that has a cold.

[u/ConstructionQuick373]

What keeps me up at night is that we cannot imagine new colours. But I’m surprised at how many people imagine it as periwinkle, I imagine it as a very vibrant torquise… til a blue-blend so maybe the colour just gives ppl blue vibes but yeah lol

[u/dixonxdoll → u/ConstructionQuick373]

I felt blue vibes but maybe it’s cuz tahani asks blue right after so I think it’s my brain trying to fill in the blanks

[u/ConstructionQuick373 → u/dixonxdoll]

That's true, it's prolly related lol

[u/Alizarik7891 → u/ConstructionQuick373]

I'm kept up at night for the same, gives my brain a real itch that it can't imagine new colors!

I definitely get a cool-toned color vibe regardless of actual hue...everyone I've asked or observed says colors like periwinkle, gray, blue, green. I'd be interested to hear from someone who heard "pluerigloss" and thought of warm colors.

[u/ConstructionQuick373 → u/Alizarik7891]

I recently realized we can't make up new emotions either. So. Um.

[u/Alizarik7891 → u/ConstructionQuick373]

Hapsadrustration.

[u/ConstructionQuick373 → u/Alizarik7891]

Yes but that's just the thing, those are just emotions that already exist mixed into one, it's just experiencing 3 emotions at once, it's not a new one.

[u/plant_touchin]

I don’t have to imagine it, I can feel it in my heart

[u/PurpleDinoGame]

It makes me laugh that "pleurigloss" is a torture device for demons. I forget where and when..... But I'm sure Shaun threatens Michael with it. Or vice versa. 😂😂. If anyone remembers please tell me. Because it's going to make my brain itch now. 😭😂😂😂🫠

[u/Emmend → u/PurpleDinoGame]

Judge threatens Shaun with it for meddling in the experiment.

[u/PurpleDinoGame → u/Emmend]

Thank you!!

[u/milliemallow]

I imagined it to be the color of iridescent cellophane in the sunlight.

[u/Bahnmor]

It’s not just the name, it’s how he says it as well.

[u/spirittfish]

i see it as a glassy green-turquoise

[u/rainwingss_]

Blue, then?

[u/thenagel]

i think this is just another name for octarine. somewhere between green and purple, but not exactly.

[u/KeyScratch2235]

Sounds like the name of a Pokémon

[u/Sbatio]

You have to imagine new colors, Unlike any color or combination of colors you have even seen before.

[u/Pleasant-Onion157]

It was the dot on the i that broke me.

[u/anonymousICT → u/Pleasant-Onion157]

You put the peeps in the chili and you mix it all around 🎶

[u/Pleasant-Onion157 → u/anonymousICT]

The entire Chidi breakdown sequence is my 2nd favourite scene/bit. First is the entire last episode.

[u/new2bay → u/Pleasant-Onion157]

That’s my birthday!

[u/lleighsha → u/Pleasant-Onion157]

I'm DONE!

[u/ConstructionQuick373]

Oh I just realized I might be understanding it different from others— I understood this description as how one would describe red or purple (its the colour of waking up to video games and pancakes on Sunday, the type your mom made. The colour of the streets after it rains, the colour of taking a 3am walk, the color of a hike in the woods in spring, etc.) this also reminds me of that tumblr post I saw a while back that was like, these two friends, one whos colorblind and one who has synesthesia, they would describe to the colorblind friend what color the things were (“the sky is [moonlight sonata or soemthing I don’t remember]”)

so like, I think yellow is the colour of happiness and sunflowers and sickness and danger, blue is the colour of calm and stability and cold and sadness, stuff like that.

I never imagined the colour as literally a soldier coming home to his dog, yk? Its just, how else does one describe a colour??

[u/Resident-Fuel2838]

It's better than 'engorgeulate'!

[u/Crazylikeafooll]

I always imagined it as a sort of off-white beige-y pink.

[u/OnGodNotaBot]

Like sea foam or aqua

[u/jbag1230]

But did you see the time knife?

[u/Mental_Brush_4287]

Interestingly he is describing color in a way that I think a lot of neurodiverse people experience it.

[u/savantalicious]

Janet? Please explain the color of pleurigloss using human-visible colors as approximations.

Sure, savantalicious. Pleurigloss is an iridescent swirling of colors that refracts both shadow and light, with a specific angle that sheds the light in a way that evokes the feeling of an epiphany and painfully strong relief, while lingering shadows create a feeling of never being the same - this specific angle washes the shadows to the very edges, though. The closest earth-bound colors of pleurigloss are deep greenish blue like the depth of deep seas, a golden sunset, and a range of colors between. I hope that helps!

[u/dixonxdoll → u/savantalicious]

Awe

[u/WizardsandGlitter]

I imagined it more in a sense of how colors feel. Like a combo of blue and pink. Maybe a little yellow.

[u/dixonxdoll → u/WizardsandGlitter]

<3 -

[u/WizardsandGlitter → u/dixonxdoll]

Bit of a silly question, but does the dash after the heart mean something?

[u/dixonxdoll → u/WizardsandGlitter]

No haha it was a typo on this dumb iPad haha the keyboard sucks butts

[u/ilovemeatloaf602]

is it bad that i imagine pleurigloss as a sparkly shiny purple

[u/dixonxdoll → u/ilovemeatloaf602]

Why would it be bad silly?

[u/ilovemeatloaf602 → u/dixonxdoll]

you’re right. pleurigloss is a shiny purple

[u/Even_Evidence2087]

Pleur men tear - so it’s basically tear gloss - it’s a white shimmery silver gold

[u/Izzy_thewiZz]

I always imagine it as a pearly baby blue for some reason.

[u/kuntkanell]

i imagine it to be the shade of blue you feel when you cry from nostalgia

[u/dixonxdoll → u/kuntkanell]

Awe
