Ingrid Sundberg's Thesaurus

The "Ingrid Sundberg's Thesaurus" collection in RGB Color Wallpaper Pro features 240 color wallpapers. Each one is inspired by the descriptive and evocative color lists compiled by writer and illustrator Ingrid Sundberg, perfect for easily setting a specific mood or theme on your device with a unique and thoughtfully named background.

Where do these color wallpapers come from?

These color wallpapers are based on The Color Thesaurus, a creative resource developed by writer and illustrator Ingrid Sundberg and shared on her blog, "Ingrid's Notes." Her aim was to help fellow writers and creatives enrich their vocabulary for describing colors, enabling them to paint more vivid and specific images with words, moving beyond basic color terms.

The color names and their corresponding RGB values in this app's collection are drawn from Ingrid Sundberg's curated lists. While the compilation of the thesaurus and her visual charts reflect her creative work and passion for language, the specific color definitions are generally based on how colors are perceived and represented, making these interpretations widely usable as color wallpaper options.

What's special about these color wallpapers?

The "Ingrid Sundberg's Thesaurus" collection is special because it offers color wallpapers with names that are often more descriptive, poetic, or specific than those found in standard color lists. It's like having a writer's curated palette to choose from for your device. You'll discover evocative names like "alabaster," "cider," "merlot," or "moss." The collection explores many nuanced shades within general color categories, providing fine-tuned and expressive choices.

The pairings of names to colors are designed to be creative and evocative, sometimes exploring less common associations. This reflects Ingrid Sundberg's original aim to offer unique word choices and, as she noted, to explore "evocative and sensual word choices that push past one's first word choice."

Originally designed to help writers create variety and specificity, these names can also inspire a particular feeling or theme for your device's background. This collection is ideal if you appreciate the art of language and want a color wallpaper with a name that tells a little more of a story or sets a distinct mood.
