Okay, so “hong yu hong”… I gotta admit, I didn’t even know what that was when I started. I just saw it trending and, you know, FOMO is real. So I dove in, headfirst. My journey started, like most things these days, with a quick search.
First, I tried to figure out what it actually means. Turns out, it’s not as straightforward as you’d think! I saw some stuff about colors, some about names… honestly, it was a bit of a mess. But I persisted. I spent a good hour just reading different forum threads and articles, trying to piece it all together.
Then came the practical part. How do I do this “hong yu hong” thing? This is where it got even more confusing. There were so many different interpretations! Some people were talking about specific color combinations, others about some kind of… ritual? I wasn’t sure.
So, I decided to start simple. I picked the most common interpretation, which seemed to involve combining certain shades of red. I gathered my materials – in my case, some old paint samples I had lying around. I figured, why not? It’s all about experimenting, right?
- First, I picked out a deep, almost burgundy red.
- Then, I found a brighter, almost fiery red.
- The trick, from what I understood, was to blend them in a specific way.
I spent the next couple of hours just… playing around. Seriously, that’s the best way to describe it. I mixed the paints, tried different ratios, and even tried applying them to some scrap paper to see how they looked when they dried. It was messy, I made some mistakes, but I was learning.
The final step was the application process, I decided to test all the mixing result. I tried different ways to apply them, I mean, I put all the mixed paints on a test paper.
Finally, I think I kind of “got” it. It wasn’t about a perfect result, it was more about the process. The act of combining these colors, of experimenting and seeing what happened… that was the “hong yu hong” for me. Did I achieve some grand, mystical result? Probably not. But did I learn something new and have some fun along the way? Absolutely.
