I wish I could find my other Talbots catalogue – they come up with some very amusing colours at times.

This... stuff?
Oh... ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out - oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean. You're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of 8 different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff.

I'm a slave to fashion Prolagus. I'm adding a lot more fawn heather to my wardrobe, if I can figure out what color it is that is.

Why don't we all just join this conversation?
No, I have to avoid this proximate occasion of sin. It's evil. I know it.

I'm a summer-flowing-autumn. With the possible exception of rococo/rococco red, none of those Top 10 colours suit me at all!
Thanks for the Devil Wears Prada quote – that was a wonderful moment!

More great colour names (although not necessarily ones that would find currency in the fashion world!) here.
And here for art colours.

I did like /dalmation/ dalmatian though. This could be the new leopard.
