But being at work, I look at the same colors nearly every day so I instead browsed through the over 2000 random pictures stored in my phone and found images I'd taken with colors that grabbed my attention, named each, and found a hexadecimal value close to the color.

Exploration #7: World of Color
Every day, we encounter colors. Different shades, hues, and transparencies are present in nearly every aspect of our lives but it's not often we sit down to actually acknowledge those colors. Of course, this evening I've been trapped behind my desk at work and so I took an alternative approach to exploration #7, world of color. This exploration asked us to collect paint chips from a hardware store in order to compare and match them to colors we experience and respond to in the world around us.
Though my camera lists 2,143 pictures on its roll going back the last year, each of the photos and the colors chosen, held a memory or a meaning, "box red" being the color of my most recent hair dye selection, "salmon vomit," my favorite ice cream from the Chinese buffet back home, "damp earth" from taking pictures of my dog romping through the mud part way to Pierre, and "blood chocolate" from my first successful attempt at making and applying fake blood, made in part with chocolate. At least at the time, I'd taken all of these pictures without really noticing the colors that make them memorable and it wasn't until I sifted through them and took the time to "see" them that I was able to acknowledge this fact.
