And the 64 paint colors would have names of items found in nature ... no more “taupe” or “ecru”.

I was thinking “flesh,” but that works, too.

ken nordine - ecru (from the 1967 colors album by ken nordine)

Ken Nordine was commisioned by a paint company to write several commercials about colors. He recorded the spoken word ads backed by free form jazz. The commercials got so much acclaim, that he decided to record an album where he redid the spots (without mentioning the name of the paint company this time), adding many more colors. All the pieces are around a minute and a half long. Some of the tracks can be taken as social commentary, but most of them are just Nordine having fun saying whatever a particular color makes him think of. The CD adds ten bonus tracks to the original album, for a total of 34 (Nordine says he recorded 44 in all).

And “peach” is a flavor, not a color. :=)

We rented a house with a pink garage door. My wife swore it was salmon color. I argued that salmon was a fish and not a color. She disagreed. I showed her a picture of a salmon and asked her what color it was. She replied, “Pink.”

I said, “I rest my case.”
