Color Magic

While roaming the shelves of a toy shop looking for a gift for a friend’s baby, I made a discover that, I believe, testifies to the downfall of civilization:

Crayola Colors: 1903
Black
Brown
Orange
Violet
Blue
Green
Red
Yellow

Crayola Colors: 2008
Awesome
Best Friends
Bear Hug
Happy Ever After
Super Happy
Fun in the Sun
Famous

AWESOME?! That was the best name people could come up with for "Orange"? I am not even going to comment on Super Happy, Best Friends and Famous as they are too unspeakable. Some people say that color is better than Prozac…...whoever chose these names must have been on Prozac.

If I were to chose the names for next season’s colors I would suggest:

Paris pink
Colombian slopes (white)
NYPD (blue)
Red necks'revenge
War against terror (black)

How’s that as color extravaganza?
