For example, I registered our La. LOST FOR WORDS some years ago (registered
No. 97-144) and described it as a soft apricot self.   The RHS colour was
31D.  I felt that soft apricot was a good description of the colour 31D.
When the registration card came back the colour 31D was described as "mars
orange".

Clearly the "mars orange" came from somewhere.  Perhaps Keith has the
answer?<

Yes, RHS 31D is described as "Mars Orange" in the cross-reference table.  
RHS 24A is "Apricot".

I posted the entire list of names in the early days of the IRIS-L.  Perhaps
the information is still in the archives.
