Re: orchid as a color


From: "Shauna _" <skorblizzard@hotmail.com>

Hi Jim,
I have always considered the colour 'orchid' as a purply-pink (slightly more 
pink that purple). I think that this colour identity for me must have come 
from the Crayola crayon colour-space theory though.

When I had my dog neutered 10 years ago, the procedure was called an 
'orchidetomy' - he hasn't liked flowers since!  ;)
