    This is so cool. Thank you for sharing and it is how I have often described to DH how I would want a room painted. Now I can show him the Thesaurus! Thank You, again.

    great use of wording the colors. thanks
    put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.

    LOVE IT! when I taught the 'color wheel' to my students, I came across the fact that there are over 14,000 different names for colors around the world. Then we made a board list of colors in our little part of the world, much like your example:

    But the visual colors are great! Thanks for sharing. Nice memories for me and good resource.
