Spring 2017 Dolce & Gabbana Huath
Huath literally means "terrible-colored" and is often compared to a serious bruise or a dangerous stormcloud. It is a dark brownish-purplish-gray. So it works okay as a solid color, but better variegated or shot-silk. This is Halley's favorite color.

Spring 2017 Dolce & Gabbana Usgdha Color Chip (saved, archived)
Usgdha literally means "resinous" and refers both to the color and the luster. Amber is the classic, but plastic mimics it very well if you want a cheap alternative. Most tree resin appears in the yellow to orange range, so this color is typically presented as a yellow-orange tone. Resins can also be red, brown, black, ivory, white, and rarely green or blue.

The name resinous refers to the appearance of the resin secreted by conifer trees. Amber, sphalerite, almandine garnet, and some specimens of sulfur exhibit a resinous luster. Specimens with a resinous luster are usually yellow, orange, red, or brown in color.

Spring 2017 Dolce & Gabbana Usgdha Shot Silk
This shot silk has different colors in warp and weft, so it is actually both yellow and orange rather than a single yellowish-orange color. It appears more yellow from some angles and more orange from other, giving it a dynamic effect.

Spring 2017 Dolce & Gabbana Usgdha Print Floral
This floral print on cotton is primarily yellow with patterns made in shades of orange, brown, and faintly greenish.

Spring 2017 Dolce & Gabbana Usgdha Print Speckled
This cotton print features many different colors of "amber" including yellow, orange, brown, black, blue, green, and clear.

There is a color in Irish perception (and also an eye color) often rendered as "yellow-grey" in English. I've seen plenty of references to that, and some possibilities in Irish Gaelic, but I haven't seen them directly connected. Of the two options I've found, liathbhuí (sallow) is made from the words for light gray and yellow, likely referring to a pale shade such as sunlit clouds; while buíghorm (yellow-blue, but not green) comes from the words for yellow and dark blue to black, likely referring to a dark shade of warm gray.

buí [bˠiː] - yellow
Etymology: from the Old Irish buide.
Expressions / Related words
• buíocán - yolk, primrose
• buíochán - jaundice
• le buíochan na gréine - with the mellowing (tanning) of the sunlight, in late afternoon
• buíochan an fhómhair - the ripening of the harvest, the mellowing change of autumn

liath [ˈlʲiə] - grey, light-blue, grey haired
Etymology: from Early Irish líath. Related to the Welsh llwyd, the Old Breton loit, the Middle Breton loet, from *leito-/*pleito-/*peleito-, from Greek pelitnós, from the Proto-Indo-European root *pel- (grey, dull colour, pallor)
Expressions
• liathbhán - pale, pallid, wan
• liathbhuí - sallow
• liathchorcra - lilac

UNUSUAL FEATURES IN THE COLOUR CLASSIFICATION OF MODERN IRISH
Under these terms, an Irish colour term such as glasrua does not refer to ‘greenish red’ but to an unsaturated subset of red, or to a greyish tone of red. This ‘polarity’ compound seems to be the only one included in the FGB dictionary, yet it does not have any tokens in the NCE, and only one of my informants (informant 9) recognised it as a colour compound. My informants did mention these other ‘polarity’ compounds: dubhgeal (lit. ‘black-white’ or ‘black-bright’; informants 3, 9, 10, 15, and 16); buíghorm (lit. ‘yellow-blue’; informants 13 and 18); deargghlas (lit. red-grue’; informants 2 and 12); and ciarbhán (lit. ‘black-white’; informants 15, 16, and 19). Other languages also seem to have colour words that denote polarities: Pukapuka (Cook Islands) has a colour term that translates into English as ‘yellow, blue’ (McNeill 1972: 24-25), and Karajá (Brazil) and Lele (Chad) both have terms that denote yellow or green or blue (information obtained from the Typological Database System).

Yellow-blue is considered an impossible color. Yellow-grey is a muted version, when the gray component is a cool bluish shade. Some people can see these colors without the elaborate tricks that ordinary people need to glimpse them. Possibly, such viewers have incomplete suppression of opposite colors, such that their cone cells can detect both at the same time without mingling. I can see yellow-grey, yellow-blue, and red-green.

Drum Carder Blending Experiment - Yarn! (multiple passes)
This is a great illustration of how to get different effects from the same fibers depending on how you combine them, how often you run them through the carder, etc. Several passes give you really even coloration, but I like the heathered look better.

Yarncake is a big cylinder of yarn tyically dyed in a very long gradient.

You can use a photo to inspire color combinations for yarn. This is the sort of thing that Shiv excels at -- he can take an image of anything, extract the important colors, find them in yarn, and card up a batt that works beautifully.

Seacell is a fiber made from trees and seaweed. It can be dyed with natural dyes.

Seacell Cotton Yarn in Glas

Both yarn and fiber are often knotted into skeins that look like braids. The yarn kind just opens up into a giant loop of yarn, so people may turn that into a ball before knitting. The fiber kind is frequently multicolored and can be broken down to spin as you please.

Hand-dyed yarn often has charming color variations.
