My daughter and I were discussing the color of something or other - I think she called it 'purple' - which to me is a dark, rich color - and what she was describing was I call 'lavender' - which to me is a pastel, light version of purple.
Sort of intriguing when someone mentions a color to me, the image that comes to my mind. When someone says red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or violet, brown or black - I think of the colors that are in the 'basic 8' Crayola crayon box.
I was so dumb in second grade - we had been taught that blue and red will make purple - and I did not realize that 'violet' and purple were the same thing - so I carefully colored whatever with red and blue crayons. DUH!
