What color in nature stops your heart?

I’m not sure about the heart-stopping stuff. That sounds awfully dangerous. But I really love when a section of the woods all has leaves that are bright yellow. The sun will shine through them and paint everything in a yellow glow.

I have two. The bright yellow of a birch in the fall and the calming blue of a blue hydrangea.

Autumn leaf colors, especially in Mass.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room You should lumber on up to Jersey. It is spectacular right now. I thought we were having a dull Fall until the reds came out.

Periwinkle, up close.

I know it’s not a single color, but Scarabs are AWESOME colored.

White. The color of my goosey angels strolling on green grass. Fall colors are runner up, especially gazing upwards through the golden leaves of a tree with a brilliant blue sky backdrop.

The colors of nature play a HUGE part in naming the 2 most awesome things I’ve ever seen in my life:

the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii (every hue of blue in the world, all at once) and
The Grand Canyon.

If I could live with a view of either place, it would never cease to amaze me, and would be a source of joy every day of my life.

Amen.

seemed kinda prayer-like there toward the end

Robert Frost said it well;

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Or, dark evergreen and white and Milo

So many . . . I marvel at nature’s palette often. I commented on another thread about the golden light of a sunset as it lights up the valley below me. Bartlett pear trees turn an amazing orange color before the leaves drop. Our Texas sage comes alive with its signature purple blossoms after a good rain. Thick clouds that are backlit by the sun are stunning. The beautiful yellows and reds of Pride of Barbados (they look orange from a distance) are hypnotic. The list goes on and on.

A really beautiful turquoise blue.

But I have also often had my breath taken away by the colors of fall.

I love the pin oak in my yard. It is burnt orange on the edges but still a little green in the center. Absolutely beautiful. But then again, I love all the fall colors this year——the reds seem much deeper than past years.

The color spectrum of a G2V star.

The deepest darkest night sky, all lit up with billions of stars.

The pale blue of the evening sky seen through storm clouds.

Packer green and gold.

I love the color of leaves in fall: orange, yellow, red.
