The wine grandma spilled and other colors

[huinare]

Thanks to bunn, I derived a deal of amusement from this color survey conducted by the xkcd dude.

My favorite part were the color names some people came up with in their wisdom and/or despair (tall but worthwhile graphic under the cut):





White if it had a wine spill on itself and let it dry for a few days and then tried to wash it but it just left that awful color that forever remains a reminder that grandma needs to be cut off after the third glass.

Day 3: Sanity lost, colors keep changing but they keep staying the same...keep seeing this green, this slightly different green, mocking me...studying me...this ms green...what do you want mr green.

Holy shit, I have to completely change my plans in life... I now want to be a color scientist.

I actually loved this and was sorry that I missed the actual poll (and I can spell fuchsia without looking it up). Of course, color is my bread and butter and with more than 1500 colors of beads in just one size/shape, not counting any other sizes, shapes, varieties, color is actually pretty important to us. Of course, it's never the exact color that the customer is looking for - LOL.
