Seriously, Footer, Cornflower? I've always used L161 or X64 as a "dusty blue." L366 does look like an interesting color, but I'm to old to use the L3xx or L7xx, or the fancy new Lux 4 digit colors.
Hey Kelite, here's a challenge for you. Please list the 10 most popular ApolloGel colors sold/manufactured. I heard a long time ago that
Rosco sold more X27 than any other color, maybe because there aren't many reds to choose from? Of course the results could be skewed by someone buying 100 sheets of a particular color for a very specific application, but we'd still be interested in the results. Here's my guesses, in numeric order:
1 AP3200 Submissive Lavender
2 AP3800 Cowboys & Indigo
3 AP4200 Bright Blue
4 AP4900 Island Blue
5 AP5400 RnR Green
6 AP6500 Bikini Yellow
7 AP7050 Fatherless Amber
8 AP8320 Tasty Apple Red
9 AP8550 Bit of Pink
10 AP8800 Sassy Pink
I notice I find myself gravitating to the XX00 numbers, which makes sense as these are the "purer" colors. This was my first serious trip through the
Apollo swatchbook, and it brightened my day. Your color names are even more entertaining than Gelatran's and
GAM's. I'd switch to Apollo just because of the names, if only I were 20 years younger.
A while ago, when Jules Fisher was asked his favorite color, he immediately replied "Brigham XX," a Surprise Pink gelatin color long-defunct, and never duplicated in any modern brand. Perhaps he was being politically correct.
