    Default Incorrect Continental Color Names

    There are a plethora of incorrect Mark II color names that have been used. It might be fun to make a list of them.

    Dubonnet maroon is the most misused. They didn't have names in any or their descriptions, as far as I know. Maybe "Lucite" white.

    None of the Mark II colors originally had names, the color descriptions were Light, Medium and Deep. All the names crept in later.

    White was a good one with Colonial White, Wimbledon White, Star Mist White, Snowshoe White and others. Black couldn't just be black it became Presidential Black. Somewhere in a post, brown was described as Mud Hen Brown, I really liked that one.

    Thank you Dominick, but 50 Alpine White is a legitimate Continental Color name described in your #3772's D.S.O. 56C-438A.
