Dear MG: the craziest colour names are those given automobiles. The first car I
owned was "Arabian Meadow Green". I doubt that there are many green meadows
in Arabia. I've never seen a picture of grass there. And I think the etymology of
"meadow" is "ow"="cultivated field" and "mead"="mowed" I doubt that there is
much hay made in Arabia. They raise plenty of horses, but I wonder what they
graze on.
