These names are taken from 4 sources-- Behr paints (I only have the ones in the yellow spectrum because there are far too many names!), Crayola Crayons past and present (plus the special edition Patriotic 64 pack), HTML colors (I guess the numbers really have names) and colors of Special Effects, Punky Color, and Manic Panic hair dye. Note: we're not endorsing any of these products, just noting that they use some funny names for colors. I want to be the person that names colors when I grow up!
