Question

i had to label a map with like, 40 things... thats a lot! what colors do i use to shade them in? which ones are basic?

Answer 1

Imagining you are coloring in a map of The U.S.
Starting in the west, California should be red and darkish/Grey, it's on fire.
Further east but still westerly, say Colorado, should be white, it is snowing, and that can cover most of the west from the Sierra Nevada, all the way, from north to south till you reach the,Texas state line. When you reach the lone state, you may want to color it blue and blackish/grey, let it extend up into the heart land. The rain seems endless the tornados are plenty and not limited to it's usual alley, Auntie M. Tornado paths have no boundaries any more. May be that we are building and inhabiting area that were open farming land, as we are growing very rapidly, or it may be that the atmosphere got a hold of some kind of hallucinate polution. Don't stop the color blue we are using to signify rain not till you reach the eastern states. Realize, as I write, please remember, I am including all states from north to south. We are now in the east right. Well discluding some areas in Florida, the color for bone dry, would for me be grey again, whitish/grey. There is no water. It is a sign of the times. Mother Nature is the real super power.
God bless us all...

You need a serious U.S. history lesson. The Democrats are the oldest party in the Nation, and arguably the oldest in the World. The Founding Fathers were progressive intellectual thinkers of the time, and they set a course for a new democratic republic based on LIBERALISM. You might want to read Common Sense by Thomas Paine, a classic liberal whose work influenced the Declaration of Independence. The Democratic Party (Democratic Republicans) was founded in 1792 by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison on liberalism, and was known then as the Republicans, Jeffersonians, Democrats, or combinations of these - Jeffersonian republicans, etc., until the 1820s, when it split into competing factions, one of which became the modern-day Democratic Party. The Democratic Republicans opposition were the Federalists, or the party of Alexander Hamilton. The Federalists were dominated by conservative businessmen and merchants in the major cities who supported a strong national government, but were still very Pro British...and became extremely unpopular by the 1800's. By the 1820's, the nationally unpopular and weakened Federalists collapsed and joined former members of the Democratic Republicans, most notably Henry Clay to form the Republican Party, which then also swallowed the aristocratic WHIGS. Those Republicans have nothing in common with today's Republican Party, which saw a resurgence in the 50's because of Joe Mccarthy, who gained support and alienated Dwight Eisenhower and his supporters. Big business, including the Military Industrial Complex and big Energy united with the Religious Right to control the party you know today. Turn off Rush, he's making you into a fool.

Use your primary colors and don't let them touch each other. No need to use 40 colors! Basic colors like blue, green, red, yellow, orange, and gray. Purple, light pink, lime green, light blue and other variations of the basic colors if you think you need them.

Answer 4

You don't have to use forty different colors, as long as two of the same colors of countries/cities/? do not touch each other.
