Celebrating the Genesis Rainbow ~ God's Promise

This watercolor print by Moon River Print Co. reminds us of God's covenant

in Genesis 9:13 when He promises to never again cover the earth with water.

Here's that verse in context - Genesis 9:8-17

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds,  I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

In appreciation of that covenant, here are some
beautiful, bright bursts of ROY-G-BIV color!

Chic Chartreuse

Chartreuse is one of those colors that many folks just aren't sure what color it is exactly.

Not really lime green. Not kiwi. More of a yellowish? Not quite neon.

So sad to be so misunderstood.

But here it is, in all its vibrant glory.

Chromatic Queen Elizabeth II

via newstrick

Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, now expecting the royal heir, gets a lot of attention from the media. As was the case with Princess Diana, her fashion choices and how she carries them off are always of interest, not only in England, but "on this side of the pond" as well. For that matter, all over the globe.

I say - let's give some attention to the Queen! I love how elegant and, ...well...queenly she always looks. Her hats are fantastic, her brooches are fabulous and her triple strand of pearls is classic perfection!

Not to mention the colors!

We mustn't let 2012 slide by without a curtsy to acknowledge Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.  Throughout her 60 years as Britain's monarch, she has enjoyed wearing exquisite fashion. In a Vogue chart called "Rainbow Queen", her wardrobe was cataloged through the course of one year, with a goal of determining the frequency of colors she wore. It's intriguing to look not only at the lovely colors, but also at the style for which she has become known.
Don't you love stuff like this?

And finally, in limited edition for the Jubilee, Pantone Color joined with Ad Agency Leo Burnett London to create a queen-shaped color deck. It represents the colors from 60 years of her most memorable outfits, perfectly color-matched to official Pantone shades. Each of the 60 cards notes the color name (primrose yellow or pristine blue, to mention just two). Also cited is the year and occasion for which each was worn.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!
