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.

“Why does the goblin’s skin color matter?”

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”

grey is english, gray is american.

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 dunno, I think ‘normal’ people do know some shades.
