Why are people selling products so hopeless at colours?
Not just the fact that the products are 95% an exciting choice of white or black, but even for the 5% that are a colour, they just don't seem to know how to word.
I remember hunting for green carpet and the "kiwifruit" one was clearly grey.
Currently I'm looking at kettles and the "red" kettle is in fact red, whereas the "green" kettles are pale green. Annoying but fine. But then when someone sells a "dark green" kettle, getting my hopes up, it turns out to be more a greenish shade of duck-egg blue. It is neither at all dark nor exceptionally green. How do these people not know what "dark green" means???
@npub12l2n...t87k has just discovered a rare opposite example where something's called "pebble grey" but is actually light purple.
Anyway what I should actually do is simply clean my current kettle but if anyone happens to spot an actual *bottle green* _electric_ kettle please give me a heads-up. I don't think they exist but I can live in hope.
