Copic marker pen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t it cool to see such random codes being applied to wildly different objects!<\/p>\n<p>I always find the specific names that are given to colours quite interesting as they are often supposed to reflect the colours of a particular object. I find myself sometimes disagreeing with the naming of colours and questioning why people have decided on it (as well as sometimes thinking that I could do a better job at describing a particular colour!)<\/p>\n<p>Although this method is a very random way of finding things, I decided when I arrived home that I could use an even more randomised method that would perhaps give me a wider range of results. I only have a limited number of pens, so something even broader would be a better idea. (And would also mean I could reuse this generator as many times as I want someday in the situation I run out of ideas!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In my next random generator, I decided to take a different route and decided to take a set of numbers from something completely different.<\/p>\n<p>The height and timing of the Sydney high and low tides on the 21st Jan were found as below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/Untitled-picture.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-760\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/Untitled-picture.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"617\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/Untitled-picture.png 1159w, https:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/Untitled-picture-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/Untitled-picture-768x307.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.unsw.edu.au\/clic\/files\/2019\/01\/Untitled-picture-1024x410.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the first method with the Copic markers, I found the association of colours to particular words very interesting and decided I could find a word using this method.
