A section of the marching band that spins/tosses a variety of different "weapons" including sabers, rifles, flags, and air blades. Generally gets made fun of by members of the winds and drum line. Guard members are the only ones who can describe how it feels to toss high into the air and catch perfectly, while staying in step and looking pretty. Because really, that's the only point of the guard; to look good.
Angry band member: "I hate color guard. They're always in the way, and they have it so easy. Everyone knows they only join because they suck at their instrument and aren't good enough to be on the cheer squad or dance team."
Guard member: "Hello, we have to run around you guys the entire parade, have practices twice as long as yours and three times as often. I play first chair on sax along with french horn and clarinet, AND I'm on the varsity cheerleading and dance teams. Piss off."

When some is not color blind, but they dress like it. Browns with blacks, pinks with oranges... You get the idea. A fashion faux pas that can be knocked up to a blonde moment. These people should not leave the house until they have looked in the mirror one last time. Guys are the worst offenders as they have no fashion sense at all. Guys, check with your woman or gay friend so that you aren't accused of being color blonde.
Jeff is so color blonde. Who ever heard of wearing plaid with stripes!?
is a dark red or purple brown color, a brownish purple or a dark reddish brown.
The color of your shirt is puce
Ewww the color puce is so ugly
I have never seen the color puce
Something that adds color and life into half time shows. I've seen shows without it and it's just not the same. Being part of it is a LOT harder than you would think. I was in it freshman year of high school and it was the hardest thing I did. It's a very rewarding sport and requires some skill. It is often made fun of and thought to be useless. They seem to believe that all we do is twirl our flags, but it is really MUCH more than that. We spin flags, rifles and sabers while marching and keeping smiles on our faces. Not only that, but there is also dance weaved into it. If you make your team, be prepared for multiple injuries, but also one of the best experiences.
During my year of Color guard, I hit my lip twice with my flag and rifle. I hit my funny bone multiple times and hit myself in the stomach trying to toss my flag above my head (the name of the move escapes me). But I came out feeling more responsible and feeling a lot better about myself in general. It really is a one of a kind experience.

hatred or discrimination of light skinned blacks
Some blacks falsely claim most house slaves were light skin blacks this is reverse colorism.Phillis Wheatley was a dark skin house slave.

When a country that is negatively perceived by the US government undergoes a revolution or coup that aligns it with A pro US domestic government, often with covert or open American support.
Often used derisively to describe coups under which the US covertly supports that enforces extreme forms of austerity, shock therapy, and/or military occupation with widespread human consequences.
I was a doctor in my home country, but then there was a Color Revolution, now I work as a prostitute.

Shorthand for Kanye West's retro-futuristic color palette - basically day-glo + Easter pastels. Wearing Kanye colors is a sign that you remember that ancient era known as the 1980s.
c.f.: The cover of Graduation (2007).
Guy 1 (pointing at Guy 2): "Kanye colors, Kanye colors!"
Guy 2: *sobs*, *draws the shades on his shades*
