Blue-gray
Livid is a medium bluish- gray color. This color name comes from the Latin color term ''lividus'', meaning "'a dull leaden-blue color'; it is also used to describe the color of contused flesh, leading to the English expression 'black and blue'". The first recorded use of ''livid'' as a color name in English was in 1622. There is a range of colors called ''livid'' colors that combine the colors blue and gray. Some of these colors are shown below. Livid (blue-gray) is the opposite concept from brown. Brown colors are mainly ''dark orange'' and ''dark red'' colors—warm colors on the warm color side of the color wheel, while blue-gray (livid) colors are mainly ''dark blue'' and ''dark azure'' colors—colors on the opposite side of the color wheel—cool colors on the cool color side of the color wheel. Alternate names are blue-gray (American English) or blue-grey (British English), which was a name introduced by Crayola for a crayon color used from 1958 to 1990. Thus, the ...

Taxonomy In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the blue-gray tanager in his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected in Brazil. He used the French name and the Latin name ''Episcopus avis''. The two stars (**) at the start of the paragraph indicates that Brisson based his description on the examination of a specimen. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the Binomial nomenclature, binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Calliphora Livida
''Calliphora livida'' is a member of the family Calliphoridae, the blow flies. This large family includes the genus ''Calliphora'', the "blue bottle flies". This genus is important in the field of forensic entomology because of its value in post-mortem interval estimation. Taxonomy ''Calliphora livida'', known as the slow-flying and loud-buzzing blue bottle fly, was first discovered by Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy who originally thought ''C. livida'' was part of the species ''Calliphora viridescens''. Robineau-Desvoidy described ''C. viridescens'' in 1830, but it was not until 1948 that ''C. livida'' was described as a separate species; in 1948, D. G. Hall introduced one of the first textbooks of entomology, where he described a number of new species including ''C. livida''. ''C. livida'' is also very similar to the species '' C. coloradensis'', which when suffering from teneral has similar genal dilation.

Metallic Color
A metallic color is a color that appears to be that of a polished metal. The visual sensation usually associated with metals is its metallic shine. This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color, because the shiny effect is due to the material's brightness varying with the surface angle to the light source. In addition, there is no mechanism for showing metallic or fluorescent colors on a computer without resorting to rendering software which simulates the action of light on a shiny surface. Consequently in art and in heraldry one would normally use a metallic paint that glitters like a real metal. Especially in sacral art in Christian churches, real gold (as gold leaf) was used for rendering gold in paintings, e.g. for the halo of saints. Gold can also be woven into sheets of silk to give an East Asian traditional look. More recent art styles, for example Art Nouveau, also used a metallic, shining gold. However, the metallic finish of such paints was added using fine al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
