I don't know about you, but I feel that the color Teal has a certain appeal.

A medium to dark, bluish green,

Teal has a flexible feel...

Teal is laid back and relaxed...

Teal can be slightly more blue than green...

Or slightly more green than blue...

http://media-files.gather.com/images/d785/d274/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

And no one really cares...

http://media-files.gather.com/images/d781/d274/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Because whether bluish green or greenish blue...

We just know that we like teal.

So slide on over to Rainbow Connections and see how you feel when you start seeing Teal.

Just in case you're still confused, here are some pictures that contain blue, green and teal so you can get a feel for which is which!

The winners of this week's Rainbow Connection ~ Colorful Competition will be announced on Sunday or Monday, November 9 or 10, whenever I get to it!

Any photos, poems, photo essays, videos or articles that contain the color teal are welcome!

But please -- no albums that include a hodge podge of unrelated colors.  And I mean it!

That said -- Come join the fun!

Thanks for the clarification! And thanks for posting the due date. When I saw the organge and black winners I thought I might be too late to start teal. I've seen some pretty and original ones so far. It's been kind of crazy around here and I might need to take a road trip, but I'll see what I can do. (friends, see my post)
