Ya know,  they've taken some of the magic out of buying a new car these 
days. Colors  are no longer Evening Orchid, Tuxedo Black, Ermine white, 
Roman 
Red, or  Tahitian Turquoise. Now it's Teal, med red metallic, white, etc.  
Yuck...
Obviously they fired the color guy. These old names conjure up  grand 
vistas, 
fueling our car buying enthusiasm.

Harry - You need to get out more! My wife's new (okay 2009) Saturn  Aura is 
"Ocean Mist". A slightly bluish tinted silver. Pretty color.  (Although, I 
guess, look what good it did for Saturn). S what does "Ocean  Mist" conjure 
up  -  early salt damage? <grin> PS  - Corvette colors still have names: 
Velocity Yellow, Atomic Orange, LeMans  Blue, etc.
