Electrochemical pastels

[door_of_time]

"Seigel put up a hotel-casino such as Las Vegas had never seen and called it the Flamingo... Everybody drove out on Route 91 just to gape... Such colors! All the new electrochemical pastels of the Florida littoral: tangerine, broiling magenta, livid pink, incarnadine, fuchsia demure, Congo ruby, methyl green, viridine, aquamarine, phenosafranine, incandescent orange, scarlet-fever purple, cyanic blue, tesselated bronze, hospital fruit-basket orange."

- Tom Wolfe, "Las Vegas (What?) Las Vegas (Can't Hear You! Too noisy) Las Vegas!!!" in The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby.
