I’ll kick it off

1) “Light blue” is one of the darkest blues

2) “Indian blue” is much greener than “sea green” and “sea green” is much bluer than “Indian blue”

3) “Radiant red” is straight up pink

4) “Colon orange” is a shitty name for a shitty color

As a new chipper, I was really confused when I received my first racks of light blue THC and radiant red RHC...

They also misspell shebert and munzel too I believe. I may have also misspelled them.

Lol, I always thought colon orange was better named Baby Shit Brown. Or if you wanted to be more scientific...Bilirubin Brown?

Unofficially known as @MatB Brown.

The definitely misspell "Sherbet" as "Sherbert." This is one of my biggest pet peeves in life.

Maybe it's the color of an orange once it reaches your colon?

It's 100% Munsell and not Paulson's Munzell
Sherbet is more common than Paulson's "Sherbert" but you will see sherbert occassionally

Mine has sherbet though...maybe it got fixed?

Sherbet is the correct spelling. I have no idea where "Munzell Green" comes from. It could be related to the "Munsell Color Chart", in which case, it is misspelled.

Both of those above posts pretty much cover it for me, plus Arc Yellow should be named Arc Orange.

They could also drop Bahama Blue and nobody would ever notice.

YES. Canary Yellow should be Arc Yellow, and Arc Yellow should be Arc Orange.

As a Lions fan I think it should be Honolulu Blue!

 

[BGinGA]

So who has a timeline of when all of the Paulson colors were introduced? I've never seen one beyond the last two or three group additions.

Someone fixed it on the orange... but not the green. lol

 

[Jeff]

YES. Canary Yellow should be Arc Yellow, and Arc Yellow should be Arc Orange.

Does Arc stand for something???

 

[markleteenie]

Does Arc stand for something???

Pure speculation on my part, but I always thought it was akin to "bridging." Nearby, but not exactly. Like lightning arcing/bridging from an object to another nearby object. So near yellow, but not exactly yellow. Again - just pure BS...err...speculation on my part.

 

[BGinGA]

^^ also arc welding. Basically means bright in this context.

 

[BGinGA]

Well, here's some interesting data...... seems that the yellow arc on airspeed indicator gauges is a thing.

Yellow arc—caution range. Fly within this range only in smooth air and then only with caution.

Although they look more yellow than does Arc Yellow.

What about them spelling "fuchsia" as "fuschia"?

From Merriam-Webster...

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/sherbet-vs-sherbert

The word in question is from Turkish and Persian words that both trace back to the Arabic word sharba, meaning "drink." All three words—the Turkish and Persian words are şerbet and sharbat, respectively—lack an "r" in the second syllable, but when the word was imported into English in the early 17th century it was coming from languages many English speakers considered exotic, and spelling was all over the place. Among the many variations that existed in the early years, two that appeared then are still in use today: sherbet and sherbert.

'Sherbert' Isn't Wrong
By the late 18th century sherbet had become the established spelling, but after only a few intermittent uses in the 18th and 19th centuries, sherbert staged a minor comeback in the 20th century. It's now a fully established (though far lesser-used) variant.

And what exactly is sherbet/sherbert? Originally the word referred to a cold drink made with sweetened and diluted fruit juice. In the U.S. the word now most commonly refers to a frozen dessert made with milk (or cream) and flavored usually with fruit juice, with egg white or gelatin sometimes added. And to get all technical for a minute, sherbets in the U.S. must by federal regulation contain between exactly 1% and 2% butterfat. (This distinguishes sherbet from sorbet—pronounced \sor-BAY\ or sometimes \SOR-but\—which is typically dairy-free.) In British English sherbet (or sherbert) often refers to what is also called "sherbet powder": a sweet powder used to make an effervescent drink.

And that's the scoop on sherbet and sherbert. We hope this particular scoop will only make scoops of the real thing taste all that much sweeter.

Ah, yes, forgot about that one. Fuschia is a popular misspelling, however.... even appears on legitimate web sites of major companies.

How does that make it any less bad?

It's not, imo. Fact, though.

This helps minimize my disgust for the word "sherbert." I will however contend that no major "frozen dessert" manufacturers label the product as "sherbert." So there's that.
