Paint chips

I was playing with the Sherwin-Williams Color Visualizer and came up with some of my own name suggestions:

  • Witch Hazel

  • Philodendron Leaf


  • Livid Bruise


  • Galena


  • Martian Sunset


  • Persimmon Peel


  • Insolence


  • Beeswax Candle


  • Dinner Roll


  • Bananafish


  • Chicken Broth


  • Gunbarrel


Update: I forgot that I had posted about this last Fall's lineup of colors over on my other blog, and found that Pantone's now posted the fashion color palette for Spring 2007 (broken link): Silver Peony, Tarragon, Opal Gray, Golden Apricot, Hollyhock, Green Sheen, Grapemist, Café Crême, Strawberry Ice, and Sky Blue. Ho-hum.

    Haha...I like "Insolence".

    I always want to rename lipstick and nail polish colors. Like a bubble gum pink labeled "I bought Paris Hilton's book and enjoy wearing body glitter. To church."

    Insolence is like Sass but more reserved. I figure if they have a color called "Solitude" then why not? (Though even I do not have the imagination required to come up with "Sensible Hue" the way they did.)

    An article on the names of nail polishes. I think that Candy Man brand came and went, however.

    Oh, I remember when Urban Decay first came out! Around the time Chanel premiered Vamp, if I recall. Cosmetics got a little dark there, for awhile.
