        -1000 for thinking it is ONLY -5 for knowing what pinky russet is. [I though that was blood on a lawnmower]

          Exactly. I have no idea what 'mauve' is. I also don't need a friend to go to the toilet with. :)

                The entries in red and purple are too close. I'd club 'em all into red.

                        My favourite ever colour name, found in a paint shop (and now confirmed on the web as not being something I dreamed up after a weird cigarette) is Moon Carrot[^] To think someone must have got paid for thinking that up...

                                Nope. It is just that we couldn't give too much of a damn. If it looks like red, we'll call it red. :)

                                  Red is a color. Orchid is a flower, salmon is a fish, Plum is a fruit, turquoise is a stone, spring is a season. Now, let's haggle about orange... Oh, and I can make yellow "Sea foam". :cool:

                                    Actually, yeah, but not that much. Some color vision defects affect 8% of men but only (IIRC) 2% of women. Still, "Sea foam"?

                                        Not to mention the 200 shades of white that most paint shops stock. In my world there's matt white and gloss white and they come in 10L tubs for a fiver but then there's barley white, meadow white, ice white, coal white, skidmark white etc that are 500ml for a tenner. Fools, money blah blah...
