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.

Way weirder when used as a sex thing.

No eigengrau??

Hah, good point. “US light grey” is on there too. There’s a transatlantic exhange program going on for unsaturated paint

Also light sea gray is darker than sea grey and medium sea grey, and light ghost gray is darker than ghost grey and dark ghost gray. OP what is going on here

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”

No gunmetal?

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

get multicultured

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

If it isn’t in rgb.txt, I don’t even want to hear about it.

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

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.

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.

salmon is too orange

that shade is called “wargamers”

grey is english, gray is american.
