Historical Note For the first years of the University of Chicago, there was considerable ambiguity as to its colors. In 1892, a committee of trustees recommended orange and grey as the university's colors, but only the color orange was officially adopted. However, this decision was far from final. Not only did the use of orange upset Syracuse University, it clashed with University of Chicago students' tradition of using gold as the university color. Complicating this was the use of many different shades of orange and gold in different combination at student events.

  • City of Orange Historic Context Statement
    City of Orange Historic Context Statement Prepared by Chattel Architecture, Planning & Preservation, Inc. Prepared for P&D Consultants for the City of Orange General Plan Update Revised November 2006 City of Orange Historic Context Statement Introduction and Methodology This historic context statement for the City of Orange (hereinafter “city” or “Orange”) is a synthesis of existing documentation and new research. The city currently contains two historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) – The Plaza Historic District (Plaza District, listed in 1982) and the Old Towne Orange Historic District (Old Towne National Register District, listed in 1997). The City also contains a locally designated Old Towne district (Old Towne Local District or Old Towne, established in 1981 and described in the current City Historic Preservation Element). Each of these three districts has different boundaries and histories, or historic context statements. The following updated historic context statement for Old Towne and selected areas outside of Old Towne combines these histories, in addition to other histories compiled by the City and the Orange Public Library, as well as original historic research performed by Chattel Architecture, Planning & Preservation, Inc. (Chattel Architecture) and its archaeological sub-consultant, PAR Environmental Services, Inc. (PAR). Chattel Architecture conducted research at the Orange Public Library, the Orange County Archives, the UCLA Air Photo Archives, the Fairchild Aerial Photo Collection at Whittier College, and the Los Angeles Public Library. Additional general historical information comes from Phil Brigandi’s Orange: The City ‘Round the Plaza, and information on the Cypress Street Barrio comes from the Shades of Orange event held in Orange on June 4, 2005 and interviews with members of the Orange Barrio Historical Society.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Greek Color Theory and the Four Elements by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Cover design by Jeff Belizaire ABOUT THIS BOOK Why does earlier Greek painting (Archaic/Classical) seem so clear and—deceptively— simple while the latest painting (Hellenistic/Graeco-Roman) is so much more complex but also familiar to us? Is there a single, coherent explanation that will cover this remarkable range? What can we recover from ancient documents and practices that can objectively be called “Greek color theory”? Present day historians of ancient art consistently conceive of color in terms of triads: red, yellow, blue or, less often, red, green, blue. This habitude derives ultimately from the color wheel invented by J.W. Goethe some two centuries ago. So familiar and useful is his system that it is only natural to judge the color orientation of the Greeks on its basis. To do so, however, assumes, consciously or not, that the color understanding of our age is the definitive paradigm for that subject.

  • Traditional Color Coding for Land Uses Color Coding Schemes
    Traditional Color Coding for Land Uses by Sanjay Jeer, AICP with Barry Bain, AICP American Planning Association December 13, 1997 DRAFT Land-use maps are the most common way of presenting land-based data. They show land- uses by rendering them in different colors. They effectively illustrate land-use concepts by graphically displaying land-uses, roads, public infrastructure, and community facilities. Planning agencies have been using one color scheme since the 1950’s that has become a defacto standard. This standard is also being frequently recommended to planners across the country. The following is a survey of this and other traditional coloring schemes. Maps generally use a different color for each of the major land-use categories. For example, it is common to render: · Yellows for residential uses such as single-family and town houses. · Browns for multi-family and high-rise residential · Reds for retail and commercial uses · Purples for industrial uses · Blues for institutional and public facilities · Greens for recreational uses · Grays for industrial utilities The above primary and secondary colors generally serve basic land-use maps that do not have complex land-use categories. When they do, it is common to find additional colors in shades closer to secondary and tertiary colors. Beyond this traditional color scheme, systems vary widely on how many colors to show on a map and which colors denote what land uses. Because some colors are close to others and easily discernible, elaborate coding schemes also specify the appropriate Prisma color number (Prisma Color is the trade name and manufacturer of popular color pencils).

  • Nasturtium.Pdf
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 11 June 2007 Nasturtium Nasturium is an easy-to-grow, warm-season annual (perennial in zones 9 -11) with distinctive leaves and brightly colored fl owers. Nasturtium is the common name of Tropaeolum majus. It is one species in a genus of about 80 species of annual and perennial herbaceous fl owering plants in the family Tropaeola- ceae native to South America and Central America, from Mexico to Chile. This common name refers to the fact that it has a mustard oil similar to that pro- duced by watercress (Nasturtium offi cinale, family Brassicaceae). Early English herbalists referred to nasturtiums as “Indian cress” after the conquistadors Nasturtium is an easy-to-grow annual. discovered them in the jungles of Peru and Mexico and brought them back to Spain in the 16th century. The peltate (shield-shaped) or nearly circular, deep green leaves have light-colored veins radiating from the central petiole. Leaves can be quite large, up to 4’ across on some plants. Many types have fl at, round leaves reminiscent of water lily pads. There are some cultivars that have variegated, almost speckled, leaves. De- pending on the variety, the plant either forms a low mound or trails up to 3 feet. The intensely colored fl owers traditionally were bright yellow and orange, but now the fl owers come in many different shades of red, yellow, orange, and cream in both rich, saturated jewel-toned col- ors and more muted pastels. Most are a single color, but some varieties are lightly marked with a second color towards the center.

  • Mapping Ethnicity: Color Use in Depicting Ethnic Distribution
    12 cartographic perspectives Number 40, Fall 2001 Mapping Ethnicity: Color Use in Depicting Ethnic Distribution Jenny Marie Johnson Color effects are in the eye of the beholder. Yet the deepest and truest secrets of color effects are, I know, University of Illinois at invisible even to the eye, and are beheld by the heart alone. Urbana-Champaign (Itten 1970) Maps are made for a specific purpose, or set of purposes. No individual cartographer or cartography-producing organization produces a map just for the sake of producing a map. People and organizations have agendas; maps tell stories. Map stories are told through symbols and colors. Colors have meaning. Perhaps color choice is intended to indi- cate an organization’s attitudes toward the phenomena being mapped. Color on maps of ethnic groups can be evaluated inter-textually by plac- ing the maps into the context of their producers and the time of their production. The colors, and their meanings, that are used to represent particular groups will reflect the map producer’s attitudes toward the ethnic groups. If these attitudes are unknown, they could be hypoth- esized by evaluating color usage. Color choices may act as indicators of opinions otherwise unexpressed. ROLE OF THE ORGANIZATION uch of the thinking about the role that organizations play in produc- ing supposedly scientific maps was done by Harley (1988) during the latter half of his career. He began this work by examining antiquarian maps in a context far greater than the normal “map as beautiful object”. Instead he examined them with the idea that the maps were artifacts produced by agents of organizations with particular goals and objectives.
