Macaroni and cheese, jazzberry jam, and outer space
what do these have in common? Keep watching to find out.
So maybe you've already guessed it, but these are strange names of colors.
Now I'm Sarah Renae Clark,
and my goal is to help you be creative in your everyday life.
And today, I'm taking on the challenge
to put my own color skills to the test, to see if I can identify the colors
of the 30 strangest color names that we have found online.
Now, Shane has secretly prepared a list
of 30 names, so I haven't actually seen these yet.
Now I make color palettes for a living, so I should be able to do well at this.
And I am putting myself on the line a bit here, doing this in front of you.
I have no idea what he's picked.
Who knows?
We're going to have to find out together.
But I do challenge you.
Join me with this, grab a piece of paper,
see if you can guess what the colors are before they come up.
And at the end of this video,
I would love you to put a comment down below telling us what score you got
and maybe if there's one or two that caught you by surprise or tell us if
there's some even strange names that you've heard.

When I put out new video, I'll be doing plenty more fun videos like this.
Plus I have a whole bunch of tutorials
and other teaching to help you get more creative.
So he's the least that Shane has prepared for me.
And the first one is outer space.
Now, I think that outerspace to me feels
like it would be like a really dark blue, maybe even a bit of gray, a bit of black,
I'm going to guess dark blue for outer space.
And yes, outer space is a blue, very dark blue, almost black.
I think that's well named.
Next up, we have razzmataz. Sounds like fun.
I feel like this should be like sparkling
glitter, but it's a color, so it can't be I'm going to guess
something like this color, this sort of reddy-pinky
kind of a hot pink raspberry color.
Yes! so far, two out of two
I think we're on the right track.
Number three is mauvelous.
Wait.... Mauvelous
OK, mauve...mouve
I'm probably saying that wrong,
but either way, I'm guessing that model is so mauvelous is mauve.
Here comes the question. How well do I know mauve?
Because I should know mauve A gray with a bit of red in it maybe?
Alright, this is sort of my guess.
It's almost like a gray mahogany kind of color.
OK, so mauvelous was a lot lighter and more towards a pink
so I expected it to be a lot more red.
Jazzberry jam.
Well, that sounds fun...
I feel like it's going to be pink
Or maybe a red...
Let's go for like a hot pink, I think.
Oh, that's actually quite a nice pink. I really like that.
that's not quite a hot pink
I would kind of put that in a raspberry category,
I really like that color.
Next we have timberwolf. Timberwolf.
I feel like this needs to be brown.
Surely. Maybe this kind of brown?
OK, so timberwolf is more of a light grey, so definitely got that one wrong.
Number six is xanadu.
Now, if you know ABBA, I'm sure that there's like a connection with that for this color, maybe...
But I'm gonna to take a stab in the dark and I'm going to say a light blue,
like a sky blue, maybe with a touch of aqua in it.
Ohhhh, I was close, I thought of the aqua.
was bringing in a little bit of that green, but not enough.
It is a lot more green than I expected.
Next, we have inchworm.
Now, this has to be surely this has to be like a brown or maybe a gray
actually, I really don't know.
I'm going to go for this kind of like French gray color...
OK, so I was way off, inchworm is actually more like a caterpillar,
and I should know this because now that I think about it, our kids have a musical inchworm and it's not gray,
So inchworm is actually green.
Next is macaroni and cheese and I know the answer!
Yay! So definitely orange.
Here it is. Macaroni and cheese.
Fuzzy wuzzy brown.
That feels like the kind of brown that you should be able to hug,
so maybe like a teddy bear color.
So I'm thinking like a brown with maybe a bit of gray in it.
OK, so I'm going to read to you
the description that Shane found for this color.
It is a weird mix between brown and pink,
think about a shaved bear for some reason and you will get the fuzzy wuzzy color.
So it actually comes from a famous
children's song about a bear with no hair.
Alright, number 10. Watchet.
I'm just gonna have to pick something,
So I'm just going to go with a green like a brownie green kind of color
Mustardy green?
I was way off, I had no idea!
That's definitely not a mustardy green.
Number eleven.
I'm not going to say this right!
This is supposed to.. Shane!
This is supposed to be a guess the color challenge, not a pronounce the color challenge!
Sinoper, Sinoper?
Can someone tell me in the comments how to pronounce that properly? Sinoper, sinoper? I don't know.
Either way, I have no clue what this color would be.
So it just for the sake of keeping
the game going, I'm going to go with the yellow.
OK, well, it's not yellow,
it's more like a rusty red... I actually don't mind that color,
Kind of cool. Let's move on.
Number 12. Of course, Shane would include this.... Puke
Do I really? Do I really need to say what we think this color is going to be?
Which of my pencils looks most like puke?
I guess the real question comes down to what you ate beforehand?
Alright... This is the color i'm going with for puke.
Fortunately, when William Shakespeare
wrote over puke stocking, he didn't mean anything to do with vomit.
In 16th century England, puke was the name of a high quality
woollen fabric, which was typically a dull, dark brown color.
All right. I was wrong.
I admit it. Sorry Shane, had nothing to do with vomit.
Thirteen, labrador.
Now, I haven't got a few right for a while, so let's hope I get this right.
Surely a light yellow, creamy kind of color i'm thinking
No! This....this
This isn't fair!
This is supposed to be a color of a Labrador.
What have you ever seen a blue Labrador? Come on?
Drake's neck.
I don't know who Drake is.
Maybe this is obvious to someone else,
but it's not to me
I'm going to guess a dark red brown.
All right so this is a Drake and therefore dark red brown was not correct.
I'm not doing so well at this for someone who should know thier colors.
Beinin, Benan, Bonnen, I'm going to say green,
I don't even know what kind of green,
i'm just taking a guess.
The colour of a ripe banana.
Banana, banana. Really?
Phlox.
Where did you find these? OK, I'm just going to go for a light blue.
Noooo! No I'm wrong again!
It's like a pink or a violet or ohhhh, I'm not doing so well.
OK! This next one, this next one
I'm confident if I get this wrong, Mountbatten Pink
Has to be pink. Mountbatten is a royal thing,
so it has to be like a royal pink What's a royal pink? Like a really rich pink.
I'm thinking maybe even a little bit
towards a purple?
or really towards the purple.
I can't believe I got that wrong as well!
It's not even pink,
That's just I was on the right track.
Purple is a royal color, so that makes sense,
But it should have been more pink. Come on.
Feldgrau.
I know I'm saying that wrong, but I'm not even going to try at this point.
Green?
Yes! That counts as green, right?
That's green, that's a gray-green, a dark-green!
I wasn't that specific but it's green.
I'm giving myself a point.
Viridian! i should know this one
And from memory I think we're dealing with green.
And it's kind of green.
I should I really should have got this right
because this is like almost my my favorite color.
It's, it is green but it's kind of a bit more blue
It's a bit more teal. Yep
I'm claiming it. I'm taking the point for Virdian.
Skobeloff. Probably pronounced that wrong as well
Can I say grey?
Like a mid grey,
like a medium sort of grey?
Or maybe like my favorite color again.
Like exactly teal, like the chair that I'm sitting on.
This is really depressing. I thought this was going to be fun.
Glaucus, Glaucus, Glaucus, Glaucus, Glaucus.
Can I say medium blue with a bit of gray?
I'm claiming it!
It's blue...
There's not really any gray but it's a medium blue.
Number twenty two is Celadon
We're going with blue.
And it's not blue.
It's green.
I should point out at this point that I
told my sister earlier that I was going to do this and she said to me,
Make sure you look them up first so that you look smart on camera.
And I said, no, it'll be fine.
I kind of at the time, didn't expect to actually get this many wrong.
This is really embarrassing...
Aureolin.
Or, or, aureolin.
I don't want to just keep saying blue,
but I feel like that should be a blue too
Or maybe it's like the completely other end of the color wheel.
Burlywood! Let's go with orange
Awww.... not really orange at all
It's more like a sand brown.
Gamboge.
So I'm going with this purplely-gray color
or maybe I'll just change my mind really quickly because
Yeah, OK. I was way off.
Coquelicot.
No, it's not yellow!
I was sure that I would get like at least some of this right.
How many have you got right? Like 3? I don't know
are you keeping track?
Oh, this next one is going to break me because it's vermilion,
and I know that I should know vermilion
I'm going with red
Yes!
Yes, finally, finally, I got one right.
Alright, we're almost through this, the next one
is Amaranth, but I don't know whether it's green or pink and they are very different.
I'm going to go with green.
Wrong!
No! Is it pink?
It's pink, it's pink, it's pink, I knew it, I knew it!
Goose turd green, but surely it's green, right?
Surely it's green,
It's green!
I'm sorry, but what on earth is that goose eating to get that kind of color green?
It's the last color, my last chance to redeem myself.
And this is a eburnean.
And considering I'm not even sure if I've
said it right, I don't like my chances of redeeming myself.
But here we go.
It all comes down to this.
I have no clue Shane,
I have no clue what this I don't even have like a maybe it's like this warm
I've got nothing. I've got nothing.
So it's probably wrong.
I'm going to go for, like, a teal.
Well, that's it, I'm done.
Well, I clearly did not do as well as
that as I would have liked to, but I would love to hear how you went.
How many did you get right?
Which ones caught you by surprise?
