The Ministry of Silly Colour Names

There are two rooms (apart from the bathrooms, which will be tiled), which shall not remain fuq il-fil: the girl's bedrooms. Perhaps having been inspired by the colour that was already there, it was decided to go with purple. The question was, what shade of purple.

For each one.

I'm guilty of being a "just pick a shade, they're all the same", and "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER AND PICK THE SAME FOR BOTH" type of guy, but I wasn't going to spoil the girls' fun of contributing to their rooms. 

So, out came the big colour wheel with every possible shade imaginable. And when there are so many options to choose from, the names start to get creative. None of this "light purple, dark purple" nonsense. I'm talking literary works of art. Upon seeing the chart, I would have chosen a colour purely on the name.

Here are my top 5 choices, all from the Purple section:

1. Fancy Pants
2. Snugglepuss
3. Nosegay
4. Bottle of Bordeaux
5. Mighty Aphrodite

Alas, my childish sense of humour was not to be satisfied and, after testing them out by painting real samples, the girls settled on the tamer Wishing Well and Heather Plum.

They happened to be right next to each other on the chart, further testing my urge to say "JUST PICK ONE", but battles must be chosen wisely. Guess I'll put on my Fancy Pants and open a Bottle of Bordeaux.
