Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 13, 2024

Teal, and duck.

No good choice.

Kinda like picking out a shirt, socks and pants in the dark and hoping for favorable results.

Losing hand.

All opinions are subjective, not objective.

Janis has already decided the color?

This is the time to fake a heart attack. (The other is when she asks of a particular garment makes her look fat.)

Teal is a sort of blue?

If it is for a motorcycle, go with teal.

None of the above. If you pick one there will be work to do.

Shoutout to the colourist for not screwing it up.

Then, not really any of those, and forget salmon too, if you’re thinking of that too…

“I like whatever color it is now.”

I’d really shake it up and go with the lime and some coconut….

… and I think to myself ‘what a wonderful world’…

A person should know what it’s for, a color that would work on the outside of a house, a bathroom or bedroom, may not work in a living room, kitchen or dining room.

“I want your objective opinion.”

Okay. I object to your wanting my opinion.

Those are island beachy colors!

None of the above. It will mean he will have to paint.

Hair dye.

Arlo’s getting some new underwear.

What happened to choosing between 15 different shades of white paint?

Depends on whether you’re going to paint the bathroom, or a car.

New bra

I thought Janis was going to let her hair grow out to a natural color. She will look weird with lime-colored hair.

Got any American colors?

Just give her your opinion, Arlo. It’ll be wrong, anyway… ☺

He will get plenty used to all the colors as he applies them to the walls.

All nice colors. None of those belong on a wall. Especially if you want to sell.

If we’re going to move, why paint? If you’re going to move, and you NEED to paint, paint it white. That gives it that clean look for the sale, and the new owners can go in what ever color THEY want.

WHAT is your favorite color?

Red, no blue! AHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!

- Monty Python

Love “the eye” Janis is giving him in the first panel!

So there……….

I searched for “weird paint names”, here’s a few I found: Snugglepuss, Dead Salmon, California Hazy, Mole’s Breath, Search Party, Sulking Room Pink, Unteal we meet again, and Pretty Ugly.

Can I just answer Hėll No? Unless you’re helping the neighbor paint his car.

Close your eyes and pick a color.

I think there must be a university somewhere that offers a major in naming paint colors.

Hmm, all I see is pink, purple, green and green.

I’ll go with lime. It will fit anywhere.

As someone who enjoys decorating you need to know in which setting the color will be placed.

She’s having him pick one, so she can narrow the choices down to three.

Just pick one. It doesn’t matter. I learned that decades ago. Rather than agonize over any choice my wife gives me I just choose one – regardless of what the options are. It has saved me a tremendous amount of time over the years.

“It’s time to repaint the shutters”. No, I wouldn’t but I have seen some …

Yikes!

I have seen the fuchsia, and it looks pink.

i hope it’s not for her hair

My parents wanted to repaint their 1967 Chevrolet station wagon so they asked me what color I liked. I looked at the colors and picked the light blue that I liked. It was only after I had done so that I realized I picked the color of our bathroom. Until the end, it always felt like I was driving around in a bathroom.

You need to know what room it will go in before you can decide. If she wants to paint, she will do the actual work of course.

It’s a trap!!

Men are not able to comprehend those colors. We only know primary colors like red, blue, yellow, and so on.

Time to fake a massive illness and lie down for the rest of the day. She won’t be able to wait and will pick her favorite.

Assume that we are talking about lingerie, then any color is a good choice.

How about Taupe and Clear?

Teal for the bathroom, green for the outside of the house, pink for the girl’s room

It’s called “context.”

I think she means the red, purple, green or blue

Those look like colors for a beach house.

coral

We moved into the house about 35 years ago. The former owners were yellow/green people We are pink/blue/white people. We still have not repainted the 2 (of 3) smaller bedrooms, the downstairs bathroom, or our studio (aka the den) to a color we would like better. And still have their paneling in our dining room (though this we actually like as we have decorated it as an 18th century tavern so the paneling was actually a plus).

How about stripes of each?
