THOUGHTS, TALES, AND TRIVIAL THINGS

Name that paint

It must be trippy working at the paint company and being in charge of naming paint colors. "Dipped in Sugar," "The Hills of Huntley," "Frank's Fire"...who comes up with these things? The funny thing is, you immediately have an image in mind once you hear these names.

It must be fun just sitting around all day and figuring out what certain hues remind you of. Of course, I don't have it in me to be poetic (contrary to what my mom might say while brandishing a "poem" I wrote when I was seven). I'd probably churn out classic-but-never-been-used-for-paint color names like "puke green" and "pokpok pink." Ahh, an image comes to mind, eh?
