WTH is horizon? Or mermaid? Or apple? Apple used to be something like "candy apple red", but is just pain apple a red or a green or a yellow? What is espresso, aside from some shade of brown? And the "caramel" colors I've seen are all a medium brown or darker when caramel itself has gold in it. I'm lost on what's going on with colors these days! I swear I think half of them are made up to make them sound more special. I think "ocean" refers to a color that is aqua. What's wrong with the real names of colors instead of trying to make these colors seem elite?

lol you're probably right. Made to sound more "special"

They are awful, most of them arnt even right. I hate when people have to give a "correct" term for a color, instead of one we understand. I dont get when people have to say the fancy name, then tell us what is really is. When I went, there was a color that was purple, called some shade of blue. and it dosnt help that the tux place goes by one term, and at the dress place its a totally differnt color!

Pretty soon color names will mean nothing at all! A purple that's called blue....

I work with textiles, and color-matching is VERY important, but the weirdest color names I can think of, chartreuse and aubergine, both are very distinct colors and you're not going to find a thousand shades called those names.

Is horizon supposed to be a red, orange, or yellow color like when the sun first starts to go down? Is it a blue or purple when the sun's newly down? It's just really stupid. Even giving the hex code for colors is easier nowadays than whatever the made-up colors are.
