in the better late than never catagory, a comment on puce
puce is defined (in art books, i don't have a handy dictionary to check out their defination) as the color of a flea's belly. (a full belly after a meal of blood!)
color books (like the Pantone Book of Colors, based on the Pantone system of inks and dyes) gives names to all their colors and point out most are atractive imaginative and interesting. --some are history, and included inspite of the imagery, Bladder green, liver and puce. Puce is actually a not unpretty color, somewhere between brown and purple, sort of the color of a fudgesickle (a chocolate ice bar) mixed with grape..darker than a cinnamon or russet, but in the same reddish/purple family.
