Ashi Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I think it's helpful to have a resource of all the colors one can name. Feel free to add more to it. Red: crimson maroon burgundy rose Nantucket coral (this is between red and orange) bloody Mary saffron strawberry auburn beet maple hot pink blush blossom salmon Orange: burnt orange brick terracotta tangerine mango tomato Yellow: blonde lemon/lemonade yolk curry turmeric (actually curry powder's signature color comes from this spice) Green: Kelly green army green avocado lemon chiffon lime moss grass sea foam green apple green (Granny Smith) peppermint wintergreen sage willow eucalyptus neon green Midori (Midori sour, a cocktail) absinthe (another liquor) mallard green putrid teal Blue: navy blue royal blue midnight blue cobalt electric blue ocean sky blue cyan turquoise cerulean Purple: royal purple grape magenta violet lavender mauve Brown: taupe mocha chocolate earth sand wheat bark cinnamon (sometimes under red, depends on the context) khaki (American khaki. In British English, this would be a military green color) Neutrals: almond beige porcelain eggnog linen birch reed frost gray chowder ink (Indian ink, if you want to be fancy) seal charcoal Others: gold silver copper (could be under red) bronze platinum rust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
