NFTRW Weekly Top Five

Here are the top five comment generating posts of the past week:

How Do Paint Colors Get Their Names?

Builder Magazine: While paint names don’t immediately conjure images of specific colors, they are intended to invoke feelings. It’s all part of a process used by paint companies to appeal to not only the eyes but also the heart. It’s as much about an emotional connection as it is about visual contentment.

The Gingerbread City in New York features gingerbread houses by architects

It also treats its supporting characters like afterthoughts, which makes the subplots forgettable at best, laborious more often.
