Roses are red / violets are blue / we can't talk about color / without mentioning poo.
We dive into the world of color: weird color names, chameleons, the legitimacy of purple, cheddar cheese vs. flamingos, color character name quiz, Crayola crayon controversy, heterochromia, and why we'd want to take Monet to a rave party.

Hi Brainiacs.
I loved the Colour episode. I love all of your episodes. I know you were planning on presenting a quiz on Colour-blindness. As a colour blind fella, I'd be interested to hear about your research on the subject if the opportunity presents itself.
Keep up the good work guys and gals.
Virginia, I hate to be a nitpicker, but I think it's "an exaltation of larks," and "a clowder of cats." Also you left out my very favorite, a murder of crows :{
Informative ideas - I was fascinated by the info - Does anyone know if I could possibly access a blank CA FTB 593-C version to complete ?
