US Light grey is darker than US grey?

Tell the scutters to paint over the ocean grey with military grey.

There’s 31 gray dots and 33 gray names listed. How am I supposed to pick the right gray‽

“They’re changing it from Ocean Grey to Military Grey. Something that should’ve been done a long time ago.”

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.

OK, but Citadel’s colour names are the worst.

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.

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

salmon is too orange

I dunno, I think ‘normal’ people do know some shades.

Seam Foam

Uh, artists use the classic pigments :-/
