Drop one more R

REGION

( followed by PIGEON? )

Aside: the color for "pigeon grey" is C0C0C0. Coincidence?

I used the third-icon-from-the-right, the A with the spectrum under it on the Reply screen, to change the color of the text from default black. The grey that is PIGEON was "[ color=#C0C0C0]your selected text here[/color ]", and I seized the opportunity to call that color "pigeon gray".

(The grey that was even lighter is #CCCCCC. The letters represent some variation of the strength of the red/yellow/blue that make up the final color, two hexadecimal characters with values from 0123456789ABCDEF [choose one] for each component.)

PIGEON The fat wood pigeons combine all those greys.
Picking an few nits on colors.

This color is "#C00C00." Not at all grey, as you can see. I don't know what color cuckoobirds are - too lazy to look it up. I consider them big pushy opportunists, the way they lay their eggs in other birds' nests and knock the (usually smaller) biological fledglings out of the nest after hatching...

Apologies for the "hexadecimal" jargon - that was the reason for the GEEK alert.
