Vehicle Colors I Have Known

[spatch]

Cactus
Champagne
Magnesium
Patriot
Pepper
Dignity

Champagne is almost discernible, some kind of tannish beige. But Pepper (Black pepper or red pepper? In this case it's red.) And Patriot? (Turns out it's a dark blue, which must go over well in the red states to whom this jingoistic color scheme is dedicated.) And Di-- well, ok, I made up the last one. Cause dignity and froo-froo SUV colors just don't mix.

Ha. Reminds me of the bus system in York, where I went to uni. The different lines were identified by colour, not by number as convention would have it. The colours were things like:

Mauve
Maroon
Claret
Rose
Magenta

I think they must have run out of money before they were able to paint all the buses, because most of the time you'd just get like a blue bus with a sign in the window reading MAUVE.
