The green plum is a greengage. Sharper and smaller than an ordinary plum.

Having just decorated part of our bedroom in a colour called Lulu, I'm wondering if there is someone out there called Lulu who is that shade of magenta?

And who the hell decided that colour would be called 'magnolia'. There are several magnolia trees near me, and not one of them is anywhere near as insipid a colour as the paint 'magnolia'.

I'd like to know who came up with 'Belgian White' too.... I thought that was a rabbit, but no, it's a paint shade. Looks like ecru to me.
