Peace In the Valley Fellow Grangers, It’s Quiet Week here at The Penthouse. We are abiding by a vow of comparative silence in our blistering attempt to honor the fertile flow of great news from all over the world.
Just this week, for example, an aggressive squad of colorists have unearthed a trove of brand-new hues sure to ignite the interior design universe. Here’s the raw pigmentation they lugged back to lab:
Sheesh.
What is management supposed to do with that mess? Well, we reached out to Bay-Buh-Nay to check if any color names might be available, and whew! We lucked out. They came back same day with the following unclaimed color names: Radical Beige • Parking Ticket Green • Road Stripe • Strange Ochre • Iron Curtain Pink • Green New Deal • Coral Turpitude • Blue Hair • Rust Belt This is where our loyal readership comes in, and, yes, we’re looking at you. Simply match up these new hues to your favorite objects. Thank You, Aggressive Colorist #1, for leading by example!

And finally, in yet another instance of life itself imitating Flossophy Friday (pardon the
hubris please!), we found a listing of the most popular baby names. Perhaps they have some extra Allens if you really want one, and what’s to keep anyone from using a few baby names on colors . . . such as Posie?
