Could be - I was old enough to be this lady's mother. According to my
small dictionary - too lazy to heave out
I believe that ultramarine was originally made from lapis lazuli would
be similar in color.

A lot of these color names...ultramarine blue, ochre, sienna, burnt sienna,
umber, burnt umber, cadmium red, cadmium yellow, alizarin crimson I
learned when I was painting in oils. They also come up in watercolors and

Obviously the names are derived from what was ground up to

and the forecasts exist so you can buy a peach sweater in one store and
a peach skirt in another and have them match.
hahahahahaaaaa!

Yeah, I know -- but *theoretically* if the peach were called Georgia
Bloom in both stores, or whatever, then they would match. I don't
think the restriction goes as high as couture, though -- it does get

I will be doing research of fashion color usage for a long, long time. I
have made a database with my documentation of color names, trends, usage and
definitions at www.fcdatabase.com . You can view the bibliography and
lists of the color names used for given years at no charge on the site.
