Ooh, "apricot wash," I like that!

If you know someone who paints in oils, this is a nicely evocative word, though. Goes well with alizarin crimson. :-)

As a colour word, this is only used by hopeless versifiers, but to me it means a certain kind of summery, seashore sky, flecked with cumulus, a clutter of gulls, and the apricot wash of a half-risen sun.

Whilst our laughter echoed
Under cerulean skies...' (Chrono Cross intro.)

Definitely a tough one to pronounce. Definitely a great color.

Suh-roo-lee-uhn. Beautiful word, likewise with the color it describes.

I've never been comfortable pronouncing this word. I try to avoid it.
