  • 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.

    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 June 18, 2025 11:24 PM MDT

      (Dude, I don’t know where you buy your crayons, I think I need to steer you to more mainstream suppliers. Grrrrrr.)

    Ha! :)

    I was actually looking for the entire 'cartoon' that is on a greeting card I like. Didn't find it but I found the above-excerpt from it! The rest has two or three other crayons with "normal" names -- they're all hanging out together and one of the other crayons says to "Turd":    "Bummer name, dude."

    Ha!  :)

    I've always enjoyed perusing all the categories on the site.
    To me, many questions are timeless.  :)
