Hi mollusque. I used google to find glossaries of color terms & found everything from the Crayola Crayon Company to names for HTML colors.
How did you find most of your color words? I found mine mainly by roaming MW3 which usually defines one color in terms of a couple of others.
Thank you linguista88!
Thanks for the positive comment on my list! Love vermillion, same hue as cinnabar. And just as fun to say.
Actually, that's one of the Crayola crayon colors. But it's not nearly as poetic as the other items on your list. :-)
Macaroni & cheese, indeed. Put a little papaya whip on it & you'd really have a unique color.
No macaroni and cheese? Where's the love? ;-)
Thanks shhill! Cerulean is added to the list
cerulean (blue) is my favorite color word.
Great suggestions - they're all added! "Ecru" is an interesting new word/color - it was fun looking up.
Nice list! I would add:
ecru
turquoise
ivory
cyan
