Never throw a meme together in a hurry, it's like typing a reply and hitting post before you check what you wrote.

Euro Gray is a weird one. Given the naming conventions for gray/grey, it ought to be "grey". Must be a US color referring to European styling.

Using both grey and gray in the same graphic? That should be illegal.

Believe it or not, but the colors are actually case sensitive. US Light is named after Uriel S. Light, a general in the US civil war. The lighter version of "US grey" would just be "US light grey"

As a kid, I learned the word "verdant" by reading a Spider-Man novel in which Peter realized an organization was nefarious by recognizing the root "verde" in the name.

I think that, in the story, the organization was trying to reproduce The Hulk. Hence, green.

I learned it from the Verdant Flammable Device in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

"They're changing it from Ocean Grey to Military Grey. Something that should've been done a long time ago."

"that's the new military grey bit, there. That's the dowdy, old, nasty ocean grey bit, there. "

"...or was it the other way round?"

Scientists: Brown = Orange

In the sense that brown is a very dark orange, and “very dark” just means there isn’t much light but the colour of the light that there is, is orange.

We are orange-haired orange-skinned people wearing orange shoes and orange leather jackets, own orange wallets, living in orange wood houses near orange and green Forrests with our orange pets.

Orange his house, with the orange little window and the orange corvette

And everything is orange for him, and himself, and everybody around, 'cause he ain't got nobody to listen to, to listen to, to listen to....

Now that's gonna be stuck in my head

OK, but Citadel's colour names are the worst.

True, but I've also seen pictures of another paint called "drow nipple pink," and that's pretty weird too, imo.

There's 31 gray dots and 33 gray names listed. How am I supposed to pick the right gray‽

Commercial print artists use Pantone, or some other color standard--way too many colors for names. And, names are far too inaccurate, outside of clearly defined ones in the CMYK space, such as red being 100M, 100Y, etc. Just do an image search for any color name, any one at all, and see the range of what people think, for instance, orange is. Turquoise is another one, because natural turquoise appears in many different hues.

Paint artists use color names, I suppose. I don't know, I don't paint. But 'burnt umber' was fused into my brain by Bob Ross.

Digital artists are stuck with RGB, HEX, or whatever, and at the whims of whichever monitor their work ends up on.

In game dev we seem to use HSL a lot. Apparently it's better, but I find it hard to think about after years and years of HEX

I know names of shades. I don't know what exactly the difference is between teal, turquoise, cyan, and blue-green.
