Paint Names


Paint names have always confused me

Blonde Wood

Whip Lash 

Top Tomato 

Who thinks of these names?

Kaleidoscope

Purple Essence

Satin Weave

Who dictates which name is for which color

Who decided Sweet Angel was a soft pink

Or that Peekaboo was a gentle lavender

Is Emergency Zone supposed to be a bright orange?

I think people are like paint

You might not understand it, but somehow it makes sense
