What's your favourite colour name?

Posted by Joanna Fraser on October 23, 2020 at 11:18am in Just for Fun

I was deeply into researching colours recently, when I started thinking about how evocative some colour names are. 

Still love the notion of Dead Salmon - some brave marketing there. 

What is your favourite colour name?

    I once saw a nail varnish that was called vomit... no joke. It was in the clearance section which says a lot.

      Woah - now THAT is a brave marketing decision.

    We use and sell Little Greene paint - they have some fantastic names, Toad, Furrow, Cupboard Green and Yellow Pink - I was wondering same recently about how much thought and debate is involved in choosing these names.  Recently heard of a product called Cat Crap and just had to find out more - definitely not a name for a paint colour though!

      Now I haven't browsed Little Greene but they sound right up my smartly painted street. Toad!

     I like graphite!

      I don't know why I expect a punchline...

        Ha ha. No punchline. I just like graphite. The colour and the name!
