-in a different shade of blue
-with elegance

3. Clause
A clause is any noun phrase plus a verb; they can be sentences, but they don’t always have to be.
Ex:
-The wizard who cast a spell
The falcon soared majestically
While my guitar gently weeps

4. Independent Clause
An independent clause is a sentence that has a subject and a verb and requires no extra information to understand.
Ex:
I ate the pineapple
The bear roared

5. Dependent Clause
Dependent clauses, which start with subordinating conjunctions such as "while," "that," or "unless," give background information but cannot stand on their own as sentences.
Ex:
-because it was delicious
-unless I’m mistaken
