Searching for a program I could run to combine certain words in a particular sequence, I stumbled across this page of yours:

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=554374

Exactly what I'm looking for, with a particularly cross-media application :) Let me clarify; I'm an artist working on initial designs for an art diary. Since that involves over three hundred pages, I'd like to run all the possible (yup, logical left brain stuff here! I'm a rather geeky artist...) combinations of my chosen palette - background colour, accent colour, and focal point colour. I know nothing about Perl or any scripting language besides the most basic Basic, so if anyone finds this a fun project and wouldn't mind inputting twenty-one words, running the program and emailing/posting the results, I'd be most appreciative. In fact, I'd mail you a copy of the diary after publication!

Background: parchment, gold, tan, butter, ivory, cream, mushroom, grey, lavender, aqua, skyblue, mint, sage, pink, barnred

Accent: parchment, gold, tan, butter, ivory, cream, mushroom, grey, lavender, aqua, skyblue, mint, sage, pink, barnred, black, chocolate, burgundy, terracotta, turquoise, violet

Focal: black, chocolate, burgundy, terracotta, turquoise, violet

I don't know if there is a way to avoid duplicates (since the accents can be any combination) such as 'cream, violet, violet', but it's not vital. Ideally I'd get a printout in alphabetical order by Background first, then Accent, and finally the Focal variations. Yeah, I know there are a lot of possibilities - (21 x 20 x 19? Is that right?)

Anyone up for the challenge? Contact me on Facebook as Bard Judith, or email me at masterbard (at) poetic (dot) com. Thanks heaps!

Edit: g0n - formatting tags
