“Briliant, gorgeous, painted, gay,
Vivid, flaunting, tearaway,
Glowing, flaring, lurid, loud,
Screaming, shrieking, marching, proud,
Mellow, matching, deep and sombre,
Pastel, sober, dead and dull,
Constant, colourful, chromatic,
Party coloured and prismatic,
Kaleidoscopic, variegated,
Tatooed, dyed, illuminated,
Daub and scumble, dip and dye,
High-keyed colour, colour lie.”

— Derek Jarman
