Assuming that is a shade of blue and not a term of abuse, let's use it after Bondi. ;-)

Subject: Re: [virgo-dev] virgo release branding I tried to avoid ambiguous colour names and I thought Bondi might be one since it is described as "Bondi Blue". I checked and there don't seem to be any other Bondi X colours, so, sure, let's use Bondi for the next release after, I should I say distinct from (e.g. in case it's in between), Maya and Azure.

Hi,
+1 from me as well.
Can I also request the use of Bondi Blue in the near future. It's my favorite :)

Subject: Re: [virgo-dev] virgo release branding
I have a similar reservation about using an alphabetical order. Once we brand the "next" release, we can't insert a tactical release prior to "next" without re-branding "next". I like the retrospective branding for completeness. The dm Server releases could use colour names from the 'green' range, which matches the Spring colour scheme. I'm afraid I can't abide tongue-twisters such as 'Phthalo'. Have mercy on the poor souls who need to present this stuff.

(1) This could be the name for the original release (retrospective branding!) (2) Love this -- sounds like Deep Blue, and has high ambition quotient. (5) My favourite for the second one -- just to get them guessing. (6) This is taken, too :-D It would also be nice to start with a few that weren't obviously (blue) colours, like Baby, Cambridge, Carolina, Columbia, Duke, Egyptian(?), Eton, Royal, ... until the penny dropped. Finally, we could choose the name consistent with our aspirations for the release (my original reason for wanting branding was that we could use it to promote and identify the release). For example, True for a particularly stable and (anticipatedly) long-lived release. Royal, if it were intended to establish a precedent and thereby claim ruling legitimacy (in standards terms I mean -- these things are intentionally vague). Cambridge, for an impractical but theoretically adventurous release. [M: +44-7815-838-558; H:+44-1962-775-598] ...
So two of us like the colours list. Anyone want to propose alternatives or do we have a consensus?
Regards,
Glyn

Colours: Azure, Bisque, Cerise, ...
