Ok, I've just checked - that dark pinky mauvy thing is called Alizarin Crimson, and what I call Green is Phthalo Green which I can't even pronounce. And of course the white isn't just white. House paint is a different matter however, and I was very pleased to paint my dining room American Cheese a few years back.

I mean, why don't you try choosing between Coffee Gleam, Nude Lustre, Gloss Rose, Pearl Plum and Raisin Glaze? It quite makes one's head spin. It's enough to make me stop buying lipstick (but not quite). You are lucky you are not a lady and do not have to deal with the plethora of choices confronting you at every lipstick counter.
