Colours have names?

Colours have names?

That's quite an interesting graphic. It could be something to do with my monitor/setup, but some of those colours are near-indistinguishable, while others are totally unique and isolated. RAL 6019, slightly south-west of the middle, is an example of the latter: quite unique in this chart, no other colour being remotely close; whereas on my monitor at least, there's near enough no difference between, say, 6010 and 6025, or 8012 and 8015.

I don't get involved in paint choices I let Mrs V choose then, its not my fault if it looks S***, I don't often get involved in putting it on the walls either.... she does that as well

You studied that colour chart far too much

That diagram irritated me, I wanted some sort of order to the chart!

Funny thing is, it wouldn't have occurred to me except that we stayed at a friend's house over the weekend, and I actually remarked on how nice and fresh the colour in their bathroom was - and it was that RAL 6019, or near as dammit.

Someone once told me that he fancied Marge Simpson, I am not sure which is worse, that or thinking a silhouette sketch is hot.

I used to fancy the Cadbury's Caramel Bunny.............................




Did I just type that out loud........

Summer, try Pantone Colour charts. They are much more organised!
