    @plant pauper
    Any chance of a photo so that we can see this wifty-wafty, shady, pale indigoy(?) weird blue colour?

    Mind you, as I'm colour blind, I might only see wifty-wafty, shady, pale grey!!😵‍💫

    I read somewhere that apricot is the colour for 2024. Very pale and we're back to magnolia

    I’ve often though over the years that my dream job would be getting to name things like paint, lipstick, nail polish and the like! I’d love it, the only limitation would be my imagination, and the necessity to not repeat names or inadvertently pinch those of the competition.

    I love magnolia. I think I might still have some in the shed or under the stairs.

    I like Magnolia. I bought some, click and collect from Been Q, during lockdown and painted a spare bedroom with it. Not as stark as white, yet light. Though I had already painted the sitting room white, but the sitting room has beams in the walls so I think white was better.

    I don't like it either @Ergates.  Even a horse trough would be a challenge for me at 6 ft 4 ins!
    I thought you were a woman. Are you a man or a tall woman? Hope you don't mind if I ask.

    I haven’t bought a lipstick or nail polish since the week before my wedding, coming up to fifty years ago.  

    By now, I suppose, their colours could be marketed as “Old Hag” and “Gardener’s Grief”. 😊
    I've never bought lipstick or nail polish. There again, if I did, there'd be a few raised eyebrows - certainly from my wife!!

    She knows that I know she never wears these.
