The Color Chartreuse (or purple, whatever)

Robert Johnson, not the bluesman, Carl Jung’s protege’, once asked an artist what color would not go with chartreuse. The artist thought for a moment, turned blue and then hurled.
Shug, a character in The Color Purple, says: “I think it pisses God off when you walk by the color purple in a field & don’t notice it.”
Honestly, I don’t know much about aesthetic realism (except that it’s been grievously misapplied at times). I do know it’ll piss your PawPaw off if the sac-a-lait swim by his chartreuse beetle-spin and don’t notice it!
This just in from First Things:God’s Favorite Color is Beige
