    exotic sock colour-names

    I know it's a fashion thing, to come up with exotic cool-sounding names for paint colours, clothes colours, and so forth.

    As an artist, it strikes me as absurd, and a bit annoying. Many colours have widely understood names, why not use them? To me being clear is better than sounding hip.

    This is what I'm talking about, these shooting socks.

    You have the choice of the following colours: Rusticana, Rembrandt, Petrel, Cobblestone, and Tudor... what on earth are those supposed to mean? "Tudor" is a colour, really?
