The colour is amazing, that is why I took the photo - they match my kitchen and would great instead of a bowl of fruit.
This made me start thinking about marketing tricks used by companies selling their wares. Many websites and catalogues would describe this colour as "clover" or "hyacyinth" or something lovely like that.
Farrow and Ball do a beautiful range of paint colours (I have used many in my house!) with beautifully descriptive names.
Examples of some of their names are "mouses back", "smoked trout", "pigeon" and "elephant's breath". However, I don't think though we will find any companies describing any of their colours as "neep" or " turnip"!
