   And then, there is that odd cross of a color between mustard and tobacco my husband calls “baby poop”…..good resource and nice to look at the colors and names. Being a lover of green, I looked for my favorite, celadon and the runner up, celery.

   Thanks for sharing this Nicholas. This is a a fantastic idea for anyone who writes anything – from a school essay to a book to an email. I’m going to start making these for the boring words I commonly use. Now just to find the time.

     As a typical male, I struggle with colors, so I had to share when I found this 😉

       Believe me, female writers also struggle with color names, mainly when English is the second language. LOL

    Color is for pleasing the eye and some of their names are pleasing as well
