It's time we expand our Zoe Saldana pallet. What can we do with an Orange or Red Zoe? What heights can we reach with Yellow?

Is the world ready for Purple Saldana?

Damn if only they'd cast her in Cats it would've been a billion dollar movie.

On the contrary! We must hone in on the shade producing the effect! It's time for a teal Zoe Saldana.

There’s pallet, palette, and palate. You wanted the middle one.

I also don't get this. Rami Malek is American, with Egyptian parents. He played Parsi-Indian descent British Freddie Mercury and he does not exactly resemble Mercury. He had two hours of daily make up including a prosthetic nose to play Mercury. I haven't seen any criticism of that- film got four Oscars and any news comments about the makeup is with praise about how they achieved the look. Why is Saldana's case different?

It’s ignorance. Rami caught a little flack from the online minority about why an American actor was picked to play Pharoah Ahkmenrah in Night at the Museum. Some people just want to complain for no reason.

These are good names for specialty mixed drinks. "I'd like one Purple Saldana please, and an Orange Zoe for the lady."
