Love's Cover, Love's Color




I remember when Donovan's "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" (1967) could be heard in Love Cosmetics ads (above). Looking over its lyrics ("Allah, kiss me once more, that I may, that I may ..."!), you would think the song would be just as likely to be optioned by an art supplies manufacturer, if art supplies manufacturers took out TV ads.

Here are the colours that appear in Donovan's song:


PRUSSIAN BLUE


SCARLET (FLEECE)


CRIMSON (BALL)


HAVANA LAKE


ROSE CARMETHENE


ALIZARIAN CRIMSON
