Great suggestions - they're all added! "Ecru" is an interesting new word/color - it was fun looking up.

No macaroni and cheese? Where's the love? ;-)

Macaroni & cheese, indeed. Put a little papaya whip on it & you'd really have a unique color.

Actually, that's one of the Crayola crayon colors. But it's not nearly as poetic as the other items on your list. :-)

Thanks for the positive comment on my list! Love vermillion, same hue as cinnabar. And just as fun to say.

How did you find most of your color words? I found mine mainly by roaming MW3 which usually defines one color in terms of a couple of others.

Hi mollusque. I used google to find glossaries of color terms & found everything from the Crayola Crayon Company to names for HTML colors.
