Munsell Color Wheel

Famous quotes containing the words color and/or wheel:

    “‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
    Taught my benighted soul to understand
    That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
    Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
    Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
    “Their color is a diabolic die.”
    Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
    May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
    —Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)

    “So I was glad of the fog’s
    Taking me to you
    Undetermined summer thing eaten
    Of grief and passage where you stay.
    The wheel is ready to turn again.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
