In another article on CIL’s “Paint Chip Names For Men,” The Winnipeg Free Press had this to say:
If you’ve ever hemmed and hawed for hours over a paint colour you know that finding the right colour is no small feat. When you factor in another person, the job becomes that more difficult. Being able to have one colour with is and hers’ names is a great idea. It might even save a few relationships!
Imagine the conversation at the paint store on a Saturday afternoon; “How about this colour called Fairytale Green?” asks the wife.
“No way I’m painting my games room Fairytale Green”, answers the husband. “How about this colour called Mo Money?”
It’s the same colour, so it’s win-win.
If you’ve ever battled with your kids or teens about paint colours for their rooms, perhaps giving your chosen colour a different name would clinch the deal. Instead of Fairytale Green, perhaps something like “Slime’ for the kids or Green hair for the teens, for example. Whatever gets the job done.
If nothing else, the new colour line for men will help us see things from another perspective, which is always a good thing. Who knows, we might even learn a thing or two about each other in the process.
