I don’t understand the point of fancy names for paint
colors. I mean you can’t just go to the
store and get white paint anymore; instead it’s ochre, or cotton, or lily of
the valley, or egg shell. And there is
almost no difference between them!
But the one that really bothers me is egg shell. Have you seen an egg shell? There is no one color of egg. Besides, my wife only buys brown eggs, so a
shade of white doesn’t even apply. And
furthermore, I don’t think my wife would let me paint the walls egg shell
unless I could confirm it was organic, because she will only buy organic
eggs. Cage free, hand fed, happy chicken
eggs. So, what would that paint color
look like?
