cool gray

...and cool grey (which is actually given as a usex at cool: "a cool grey colour‎"). It's SoP, like dark orange; almost any colour can be cool, as defined. I think someone batch-imported a lot of Internet colour names at some stage. Equinox ◑ 09:53, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

• Well, dark orange is virtually the same as burnt orange. I wouldn't class cool grey as a true colour, unlike dark grey, light grey, and silver grey, which can be reflected in translations. Delete, I guess. DonnanZ (talk) 11:05, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
• Our noun senses for these terms claim that they refer to specific colors, not to any [[cool]] + [[grey]] color. (And I suspect the adjective senses are meant to claim that also, but were written poorly.) That'd not be SOP then. Keep the noun senses at least, though I wonder whether there's attestation.​—msh210℠ (talk) 11:38, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
• Keep: "Cool" is ambiguous, and I doubt you'd ever find a cool orange in the sense you'd find a cool gray. Purplebackpack89 21:35, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
