A noun, eh? Equinox ◑ 20:02, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I can't argue with that. Will you humour me and find two more? Equinox ◑ 00:47, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

• Cited, IMHO. DCDuring TALK 17:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

This is uncommon. There is no way that we can establish that it actually used to match a particular hue based on attestation. We would need to accept some kind of prescriptive/standard-setting bodies's definitions. We had a brief flirtation with using attestation that did not get very far. Does anyone want to amend editable CFI to establish some workable approach to rendering (ambiguity/pun noted) useful color information to our users? DCDuring TALK 17:35, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

RFV passed. Thanks for the citations, DCDuring. As to the fact that we can't discern the specific intended color from the quotations, that's a good point, maybe worth raising at the Beer parlour. —Ruakh_TALK 03:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
