name that hue

I've always wondered about the people 

who think up all those names for colors.

You know, like the names on paint chips

or nail polish

or pastels.

Are they poets or painters?

Cat people or dog people?

What do they wear?

Are their living rooms beige?

Do they do drugs?

What do they eat? 

I think about them and their stories a lot.

As I look down at my toes, my mind wanders.

I mean, seriously...

just imagine the person who named this polish,

"Melon of Troy".
