ROCK PAINT
Ìý
I had a thought about new names for paint colours inspired by stuartmemo's post a while back about Beatles themed paint colours. I was going to abandon the new paint names thing because I was reminded that Marc & Lard used to do a very similar thing on Radio 1 back in the day but stuartmemo's Beatles twist reignited my enthusiasm. How about a Bowie paint range?! Go on, stop watching election coverage and do something REALLY important! here's a couple to get you going:Secret Life of Azalea
Panic In Turqouise
Look Back In Amber
Fuchsia Legend

Those are very bad. You have to be able to do better! HELP!!love Adam (((((xXxXXXXxXx)))))

I had one for The Prettiest Star, where the colour brown was inserted between the words "prettiest" and "star", but I'm not sure it'll get through the castle gates.

It states in the "basic discoveries" that nobody can spell fuchsia, but our very own ADAM BUXTON can (see top of page)
The miscellaneous section near the end was sooo funny. My faves: gosh, that's blue and shark infested water.
Thanks for that!

Sorry also for resurrecting the ghost of Mark & Lard's 'Pigment or Figment' quiz, but it was completely different to this, and I would bet the bag of grapes I am currently eating that nobody but me remembers it anyway!

However, Mr Bux probably had one of those brain fit scenarios where you're convinced you've come up with something nicely creative purely on your own, then later it dawns on you...it's sadly just not the case at all.
I did that with Blu Ray. Easily done :)

But it probably already exists.'
So there you go. Forgot to say this earlier!
