I appreciate you including the color in the article, but it strikes me that I don't really know what that color is supposed to look like. Every computer monitor is a little bit different, and as I drag my internet window back and forth between my two monitors, I see subtle shifts in the color: on the left, it's a little more orange; on the right, a little more pink. Normally, this isn't an issue for me; in casual- or work- use, I barely need to be able to distinguish red from blue. However, the totality of this article is the color. The entire goddamned point is what this color looks like, and my tools are failing me.

I need to get to SAM. The pictures of art on the internet, or in a book, just aren't the same thing.

I love that fucking color. Always happy to see a great new shade.

Either my monitor needs major recalibration or that color is seriously horrible. Like, bad 50s kitsch awful.

I'm still stuck in the '70s with "avocado."

@1, get a Spyder monitor calibrator. They work wonders. No one who works with color should live without one, Mac or PC.

@3, there's a bit of 50s formica behind a drawer in our kitchen from before the 80s remodel that's just this color. And I have an Armstrong catalog from the 50s that absolutely pongs with this shade on every page.

I haven't been able to read flights-of-fancy color names without giggling since Paper Lantern and Opulent Opal came along.

Did Speaker Boehner have any input into this selection?
