Logwood enthusiast Registered: 07/28/05 Posts: 270 Loc: Israel Stupid crossword... how can "coral" mean "soft pink"? I mean, coral (reefs?) vary in colour. And, no definition in my dictionary conforms to pink nohow! just stupid...stupid crossword... right? they got it wrong... I should complain. I should. Top #159323 - 05/06/06 03:54 PM Re: Coral pink? Father Steve Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/06/00 Posts: 2776 Loc: Seattle, Washington, USA Remain clam, Loggie. It is all about the need for new and fetching names for lipstick. Top #159324 - 05/06/06 05:42 PM Re: mediumspringgreen Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 10232 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky mediumspringgreen Better than typed: copied and pasted, first into the color box, then in between the sets of brackets. I should note, however, that it is all but impossible to insult my intelligence where anything re: computers is said. SQUAWK! Now, it IS medium spring green! ??? I musta done something wrong the first time. Thanks, Alex. Edit: Logwood, coral is a kind of orangey-pink.

I have both IE and firefox open to your post right now; firefox is definitely greenish and IE is real red. _________________________ joe friday Top #159329 - 05/07/06 06:37 AM Re: I got your proof consuelo Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/11/01 Posts: 2631 Loc: Caribbean Jackie's mediumspringgreen is the only red one of the bunch that I see.
