I used to drive it when I was a very small, tiny baby.
I've had this car for a long time.
If you said, mmm, like, I don't know.
Take a good look. What colour?
Black and black here, and then like yellow or something.
You're right, but mm-mm, that's kind of wrong because there are not just yellows or blacks
in the world of car paint anymore.
So, if you're looking to fix up an old car like this and make it your baby, make it beautiful,
if you're into reconditioning old cars, or if you're into interior design, painting,
painting your house a new colour, and you go to the paint store and you say:
"Definitely I would like to have a blue living room",
the people that work at the paint store are going to do this:
Maybe light blue, dark blue. That's what I got, light blue, dark blue."
So what I'm going to teach you today is all about colours, but shades of colours and the
super crazy names that we have for them, because it's not just green anymore.
Sherry from Hong Kong, this lesson's for you.
Hi.
[Laughs]
Cherry, Sherry, Sherry? Cherry!
What colour do you think cherry is?
These are names of colours, but we change them up, we play with them.
So, you guys know the colour red.
Have you heard of the colour crimson?
So, all of these ones are colour-coded to help you.
If you're colour-blind, good luck; everything's kind of the same.
So, how do we get these strange colours?
We will name colours after food or drink.
So, we've got crimson, we've gone wine-delicious-and another food is a cherry.
Cherries and wine, they're red.
They're different shades of red, but they're still red.
We also name colours after flowers.
It can be pink, too, but that's okay.
So, sometimes maybe you want to buy red paint, you go to the store and it's called geranium
Now, black is not just black anymore.
Black has changed to ebony, onyx-great band, by the way-raven...
So, we name colours after animals, food, and flowers.
Sable, and then we have night shade.
When I was younger I had a car that was night shade, so at nighttime it was black, but in
the daylight it was not blue, navy.
Next up, not just purple anymore.
We have the flower of lavender, we have lilac, which is another flower.
This is one of my favourites: mauve.
Now, it looks like mowawu, mauve, but it's actually mauve.
We have plum, which is a food; violet, which is a flower; and amethyst, which is a type...
I was born in February, so my ring is an amethyst.
We have ash, battleship-mm-hmm-dove.
Did you know that doves and pigeons are the same?
Except doves are white and grey.
We have a stone, stone grey, good colour for your house.
So, gun metal, battleship.
We're getting some war themes going on in this paint.
Back to the fruits and veggies, we have orange.
The inside of the cantaloupe, it's orange.
Carrot, marigold. Marigold's a flower.
It's a little bit smaller than an orange.
We also have the colour orange.
Green, lots of food, lots of things in our...
So we have one of my favourite, avocado, which is how you make guacamole.
So, avocado is a darker green.
The inside of my fantabulous jacket is lime.
We have this very, very crazy colour called chartreuse, that's green.
Jade.
Have you watched Jade's videos?
Did you know that she's not green at all?
Sage is a type of herb or a plant.
Sapphire. Sapphire is a dark blue.
And even darker than sapphire is navy.
Now, sometimes navy looks black.
You have to be really careful about this one.
There's something wrong. Okay?
You need to check on the baby.
That makes sense because the sky is blue.
Why the sky is blue, I don't know.
This would be baby blue or sky blue.
We also have indigo, Ronnie's favourite colour.
Indigo is a mix of purple and blue.
It doesn't get purple, it gets blue.
Now, cobalt is a very, very bright, wonderful blue.
Let me find something cobalt for you.
This would be considered cobalt blue.
Sometimes it's called electric blue.
I didn't know electricity had a colour.
And also Latin-speak-, speaking people, you might recognize this: azure.
What?
So yellow we can call amber, which is also a person's name.
Now, amber is a girl's name and it's also a type of stone, like an amethyst or an emerald
Blonde, mmm, blonde beer, delicious.
Get what colour it is, it's yellow.
Some people have blonde hair, not me.
And then we have our food, represent, lemon.
Maybe you want to paint your kitchen sunshine yellow so that when you wake up in the morning
Next up we have the lighter shade of red, which is pink.
It can be called salmon, the fish; rose, a beautiful flower; blush.
It's what happens when you get embarrassed, your cheeks go pink or red, and you blush.
We also have peach, which is a fruit, and coral.
Coral is something that is alive in the ocean and fish live in there.
Now, if you've ever had to buy white paint, you're in for a treat because they have frosted;
milk or cream-very different-alabaster, which is a white mineral, it's white; or pearl.
All of these just mean different shades of white.
So, if you're into colours and you have a favourite colour, there's probably another
The other cool thing you can do is you can make up a name for stuff,
