Colorful stories:
I like copper. It can be dirt, skin color or hair. It is a soft but subtle color.

The metallic is old and new at the same time, the copper relics found in ancient Celtic sites and the sophisticated tones of Art Deco in the buildings of the Big Apple.

I couldn't resist naming another metallic color as my second choice. As with my first choice, I think that the glow of a copper crayon gives adds a little something to a picture. It doesn't have a fancy name, but it sure gives the drawing a richer glow.
