I hear you on that! That yellow-green-brown color of a week-old bruise is good news on your skin but really BAD news in the sky! I suppose air is yellow to represent sunlight. Of course there are places where the air is usually grey...cough, cough!
Actually, in my experience, "comptroller" is still very much in use. Many companies I interact with have both a comptroller *and* a CFO. The comptroller (some use the modernized "controller") typically is in charge of accounting; whereas, the CFO usually also has finance and maybe other responsibilities under his or her control.

It was part of a movement to get folks to focus on employees as important corporate assets that needed to be developed, rather than as replaceable "cogs in the machine."

Ah yes, and has it worked??

I think, based on what I've seen, it has accomplished the opposite.
I grew up on the Atlantic coast, where the ocean waves were sort of DMC 501.
If we can take natural resources for granted an abuse them, why not do the same with human resources?
Look at the Globus and think Earth is browns and greens , as for water ,,, i can only advice you to have a peep at my own work called "There is There Isn`t " , in my exhibition pics, of "A woman with threads" on my site
Mediterenean Blue ??? Lucille what is that ??? Every day the Mediterenean chnages color ,,,, as i see every day on my walk or if i travel around the city , after al i live in a city that has the Mediterenean Sea on North, West and South west of it ,,, mirjam
I think she should lay out all her chosen colors and maybe mix thredas at some of the meeting lines = grade the moove from one element colorto another , by this she will have it like a more Whole work ,,, mirjam
What would you think of a black background as in Space Or what we used to call Royal Blue ? mirjam But shiny black would be my choice ,,
I've seen the skies turn yellow - it was a scary color. Supposedly there was a tornado just a few miles north and west of me a few years back and I remember the yellow sky and the wind felt all wrong.
You are up to it! LOL!

Company I work for now has a COO, a President, a CEO and is looking to hire a "comptroller".
The word is not obsolete in the corporate world. Granted I didn't hear it much while doing the SAHM thing while the kids were young, but now that I'm back in the "world" again I've heard it at companies we deal with as well.

The Atlantic changes color as you go north and south tho. The same ocean is a turquoise blue in the Caribbean, and a very dark steel grey up in the North Atlantic.
Not to mention that on cloudy days it's a different shade then on sunny days, even off Karen's beloved Long Island. (We won't go into the stuff floating in the ocean that washes up on LI's shores! LOL)

The college has a comptroller (who essentially handles the "books") and Associate Dean of Finance. Two completely different positions. One is very much the day-to-day business of accounting while the other is involved in more long-term planning. (Our Vice President of Finance, which is more analogous to a CFO, is currently an open position.)
KMy company no longer has "human resourses." Now we have "SWS." Sounds like a secret police but stands for "Strategic Workforce Solutions" gag!
(I think the intent is that noone outside the company--or new to it--can bother them because they have no idea where to look in the directory.)
But it accomplished little. We're more cogs in a machine now than ever. Dianne
After a little fun with google:
The buddhist version - Earth - yellow - secondary colors brown and green Fire - red Water - white - secondary color blue Air - blue or black - secondary color yellow
An ancient Greek version -
Earth/dry - red Fire/hot - yellow Water/cold - black - secondary color blue Air/wet - white - secondary color green
A pagan based version -
Earth/north - gold or black Fire/south - blue or white Water/west - red or gray Air/east - red or white
My conclusion. Whatever looks best when you go play with fibers. LOL
no help at all, Donna in Virginia
Looks like you had fun though!
Actually Donna, I can "see" the pagan one looking really good!
