If you were inventing names for paint what might you come up with?
Was just randomly browsing the very ooooh la la Farrow & Ball paint names as they make me chuckle with their Hog Plum, Arsenic, Whirlybird, Potted Shrimp and Mouse’s Breath.

"Aldi checkout, omnibus exhaust, felted cardigan. 
Felted cardigans come in a range of colours, not that I can recall ever seeing a felted cardigan  "
I thought that was the point of those Farrow and Ball names, they don't actually refer to the actual colour. I've got no idea what colour 'whirlybird' might be  |

"Whirlybird is green! Who knew
And Hog Plum is not purple in any way.
I immediately thought of a warthogs testicle
Warthog’s Testicle should actually be a name for one, that’s inspired. "
It's a gimmick isn't it. It all started in the eighties with 'a touch of' colours and has ended with us not having a clue what the bloomin eck they're talking about. Whirlybird used to be what they called helicopters. |

Jizz Fizz- an off white/champagne mix
Keith Lemon- fairly obnoxious, the colour you paint a room for guests you'd rather not have stopping
Spartan Tartan- splashes of blood red
Monday morning blues- its black actually, like my fucking mood just before i have to leave for the first job of the long, long week on a cold, dark morning
Knights in white satin- surprisingly, its sort of 'Moody Blue' colour
Top Trumps- A sort of odd orange hue, nobody in their right mind would choose it, its uniqueness 'grabs you by the pussy' with its self proclaimed 'bestness of all paints'...has a tendency to cause nausea
Cameron Pink- Its vivid colour squeals at you like a freshly fucked pig |
