1. THE MANY COLORS OF:

2. Green “Involuntarily I glanced seaward-- and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock…” “You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock.” “Now it was again a green light on the dock…” Gatsby believed in the green light...

3. White “[Daisy and Jordan] were both in white and their dresses were rippling and fluttering.” “Our white girlhood was passed there. Our beautiful white…” “…and Gatsby, in a white flannel suit, silver shirt and gold- colored tie…” “She dressed all in white and had a little white roadster and all day long the telephone rang in her house.” Daisy and Jordan lay upon an enormous couch, like silver idols, weighing down their own white dresses against the singing breeze of the fans.

4. Yellow  Myrtle was killed by Gatsby’s yellow Rolls Royce, in front of her yellow brick house under the yellow spectacled eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg.  Gatsby is seen walking through ‘yellowing trees’ just before he was murdered.  Daisy’s name  Jordan’s tan  West Egg /East Egg  Jordan’s hair is ‘autumn leaf yellow.’  The Wilson’s garage/house is yellow.

5. Gold “The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold.” “The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold.” “An hour later the front door opened nervously and Gatsby in a white flannel suit, silver shirt and gold-colored tie hurried in.” “An hour later the front door opened nervously and Gatsby in a white flannel suit, silver shirt and gold-colored tie hurried in.” “His bedroom was the simplest room of all--except where the dresser was garnished with a toilet set of pure dull gold.” “His bedroom was the simplest room of all--except where the dresser was garnished with a toilet set of pure dull gold.” “Daisy admired this aspect or that of the feudal silhouette against the sky, admired the gardens, the sparkling odor of jonquils and the frothy odor of hawthorn and plum blossoms and the pale gold odor of kiss-me- at-the-gate.” “Daisy admired this aspect or that of the feudal silhouette against the sky, admired the gardens, the sparkling odor of jonquils and the frothy odor of hawthorn and plum blossoms and the pale gold odor of kiss-me- at-the-gate.” “And if you want to take down any addresses here’s my little gold pencil....” “And if you want to take down any addresses here’s my little gold pencil....”

6. Blue "The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic...." “In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.” “He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it.” When Dan Cody buys Gatsby a blue coat…what happens next?

7. Grey The Valley of Ashes "...a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys...and ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud...." "occasionally a line of gray cars crawls along...." "an ashen dust veiled [Wilson's] suit and his pale hair...." “[Jordan’s] grey, sun-strained eyes…”
