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

Yeah, I know -- but *theoretically* if the peach were called Georgia
Bloom in both stores, or whatever, then they would match. I don't
