When it comes to naming colors, sometimes a perfect descriptor comes to mind almost instantaneously and sometimes I ponder possibilities for hours or days. Either way, my thought is always on how well the name conveys the character of the color and how successfully it will link the color to something positive in the minds of the customer. So you can image me raising an eyebrow when I saw a well respected paint company like Farrow & Ball using names like Dead Salmon, Arsenic, Monkey Puzzle, and Clunch. This inquiring mind had to know why.
