I am really shitting myself if I have to phone my vet and she asks what colour my cat is.

Sable.

Iirc a paint colour chart I saw in Wickes didn’t have black on it. It was Raven’s Wing.

My car’s colour is officially called Nightshade (actually black with red metal flakes).

You have a ginger cat?

Black isn't, technically, a colour. Neither is white.

Let's not start that again.

It's still red, whether you can see it or not.

It's still red, whether you can see it or not.

But is it still read if there's no woman around to tell us it's wrong?

 

[Wightsparker]

It's still red, whether you can see it or not.

But it can't be read if the room's too dark.

 

[BetwixtandBetween]

What if you are only halfway through it, is it partially red?

I don’t know. I'm pretty sure you can't hear the pages turning either.

Definitely not if the dark room was a vacuum.

No, but I do have a ginger daughter, no photo's.

In linguistics they are, being the oldest colour names in any known language, followed by red.

Dad's Army in radio 4 last week has had complaints after Mr Cheeseman stated there was a chink of light showing through the curtains.
Apoerantly the word chink is offensive to Aisians.
Nobody think about context.

They will have a few problems with this too:
