      -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...

                          Yes, there is that. +2 for the reference and +1 for calling me Shirley. Just don't do it again.

                              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...

                                        We could probably come up with dazzling names for those colors but you guys won't remember those names. So it's for your benifit, you see!! ;P

                                          I believe the organization on the guys side is a little wrong. The first 3 I would call red. Orchid I would call blue. Well at least its blue on my monitor. There are only 2 pinks in the list. The rest are purple. Orange is fine. Yellow takes the first item from Green. And the rest is fine.
