[quote="LynNY"]Some answers to this question from Keith Keppel:
He uses Dictionary of Color, by A. Maerz and M. Rea Paul, put out by McGraw Hilll, 1930 and 1950 editions, now long out of print. This does have names such as opera pink and canterbury purple. There are used copied available on line for $200 <gasp>. Well, seems expensive to me until I consider that I paid that much for 6 yards of dirt today <
My dear, if you're paying that much, you need to call it "soil"
BTW, I've been paying about $48/yard.. Does that make it "designer soil"?
