Colours...I heard a marketing poobah say about six years ago "Teal is going to be HUGE", so don't blame it on the Net. (Look into the socalled United Colours of Benetton, now there's a conspiracy.)

I have spent a lot of time this summer mixing paint in a hardware store. Popular new line: Martha Stewart (gag me with a stir-stick). The paint isn't any better, but the colours are just so gosh-darn tasteful. Luckily they don't come in exterior paint, Martha's being an interior world...and by the way, Martha is VERY proprietary about those colours, we are strictly enjoined against mixing a different brand of base to one of her colour formulas. (That's why we have the line, in fact: the chain that had it previously in Canada got caught doing that. You know, by the Martha Stewart Private Colour Squad)

Good old Tremclad (the stuff you splash over your old car to hide the rust) comes in something called J.D. Green -- if you don't have a rural background you might not immediately catch that this is John Deere Green.
