  • Beige  <- I don't even know how to spell it and I'm not going to look it up.  TBH, I can't tell the difference between 'Beige' and 'Puce'

    Blue.  It is contradictory.
    Example:

    OR...


    Happy or Sad?
    Let's not forget the hues of color people argue about...
    That is Seafoam.  No.  That is Turquoise. 
    Have you ever seen seafoam?  It is cream, dirty, and not the color you are selling it as.
    I've had this conversation.  Definitely, Blue.

    Sea foam (the real stuff) is not blue. But it is iridescent. No joke.

    I hate when they leave the U out of colour and favourite. It drives me nutz.

    PUCE - For a start the term is hardly specific, and can be applied to a range of distinct hues.    This post was edited by Stemmata949 at September 8, 2019 11:07 AM MDT
