Green grapes are "white". Gold wine is "white". Purple grapes and purple wine are "red".
Different shades of brown cedar are "red" and "white" cedar; different shades of brown meat are "red" and "white" meat.
You know litmus paper? the stuff they use to test PH levels in swimming pools? It comes in "red" and "blue". It's pink and purple.
"Roses are red, violets are blue." Here we go again. Violets are violet. In fact, that is—I know this is going to sound strange—but that is the very reason they're called v-i-o-l-e-t-s.
"Black and white" film tends to consist mostly of different shades of gray. "Black lights"...well, that would be awesome if it were true, but I don't think it's possible. Instead, we're stuck with this wimpy livid blue.
Greenland is mostly not green.
In some old prints of "The Wizard of Oz", the yellow brick road looks more orange.
"White" people are peach. We're not white and we're not "gray". (If you ever see a gray person, run.) "Black" people are brown. "Yellow" orientals could not possibly be less yellow, and "red" Native American people are miles from red. In fact, the skin color of the two groups is frequently close to the same, and also similar to that of the "white" people in India.
Why don't people ever call anything the color that it actually is?? Can't anyone tell me??

Don't forget that you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway.

"i just hate it when Asian people are called oriental... (it's Asia, now. Not The Orient. Technically)."
Newsflash: "oriental" means "eastern", or in this sense, "Far Eastern". Siberians and Pakistanis are Asian, but they're not of the Far East. Perhaps the best term would simply be "Far Eastern".

"this guy has never had a good post"
That's funny, because you've never had a good response to any of my posts.

had a girlfriend ask me once, in all seriousness: "Why come if you drink milk, which is white, it comes out yellow; or if you drink chocolate milk it doesn't come out brown?" I said s/t like, "The body takes all it needs, and what's left over is yellow. "But still why's it always yellow!?" she asked. I really didn't know the answer. She huffed off, carrying a blue gatoraide, still carrying on.

because the "tan" people of India would be confused with the "tan" people of south east asia...Koreans are "peach" but would that make them the same as european "Peach"? the color is the same.
