Title Help!
Hello there
I'm halfway through Book 3 of The Wonder and was hoping for some input...
As you may know, the titles are colour-based (due to the magic system used) -
The Wonder 1: Blood Red
The Wonder 2: Deep Blue
(This is brilliant considering I am completely colourblind but never mind that...)
I need 3 to be...
The Wonder 3: red-blue and green-blue
Obviously that's a rubbish title, so I was thinking
The Wonder 3: Turquoise & Amethyst
or
The Wonder 3: Violet & Cerulean
or combinations thereof...
I'm worried they just sound a bit too cuddly/YA Fantasy but they do feel rather Victorian, which is apt for the time period.
Also, does anyone know of other colour results from combining Red/blue and green/blue?
Any help will be gratefully received!
Cheers
James

The combination of red and blue is Magenta, a combination of blue and green is Cyan. This might help in the choice of the title of the book.

Thanks, Stjepan! You're right, but I don't like the words themselves.
What about -
The Wonder 3: Amethyst/Amarinthine and Verdigris?
Or vice versa?
OR
The Wonder 3: Viridian and Amarinthine/Amethyst
or vice versa?
Maybe amethyst and turquoise. Green and blue give color turquoise.
I think I have it. Amethyst is perfect as it sounds weaponistic, and Verdigris is perfect because it comes from weathered copper.I think, and you're the very first to know it, which is great as you're a poet, is -
The Wonder: Verdigris & Amethyst
It looks great. I as a poet can confirm. :)
On the other hand, Viridian and Verdigris sounds great--it has that alliteration thing going for it!
Hi Eric. Great to hear from you. Yes you're right but they mean the same thing - blue/green. I think I'm going to do just The Wonder: Verdigris.
(I was tempted for a minute to do Pure Green -

Oops, definitely a fatal flaw. Anyway, I do like the color reference being just one word.
As this will probably be the last in the series (or at least of this story arc), I think the one word also denotes a certain finality to it.
"Magenta and Cyan"
The combination of red and blue is Magenta, a combination of blue and green is Cyan. This might help in the choice of the title of the book.
