I'm starting a new line of dishes, and I need names for the colors
Edited on Mon Dec-29-08 01:51 AM by XemaSab
So far I have Cinnabar, Cobalt, Emerald, Aquamarine, Cadmium Yellow, Bellite Orange, Paris Green, Berlin Blue, Galena, and Pitchblende.

Can anyone think of any others? :shrug:

11. I think with that line of dishware
the radiation might be the least of your problems.

If there's a terrible twisted parallel universe somewhere where Tammy Faye Baker and Sarah Palin get married and have children, those would be the kid's names!

13. There are cool names here but you have to click on the types of beads and
then again on the sizes in order to get names with colors.

20. All varieties of lead ores?
Edited on Tue Dec-30-08 08:58 AM by Godlesscommieprevert
On edit

I think they're toxic glazes from different heavy metals. I know cinnabar is mercury, and galena is lead. Cobalt is self-explanatory, pitchblende is radium?

21. You're the closest
They all have toxic elements in them.

My mom got new red dishes, and the color was "Cinnabar." It sounds like "cinnamon," but it's a mercury-containing rock! :o

24. No one's going to post to this thread
until you publicly acclaim the marketing genius of "Douche" and "NASCAR".

Hmmph. x(
