Color names

[beige_alert]

I was looking through the "Mountain Gear" catalog, at the coats, boots, backpacks, etc., and realized that I was actually missing the best part: The names of the colors. Oh, sure, some items are "black" or "white" or a normal color name prefixed with some semi-silly addition such as "English Green" or "Rubix Red." But the best are just plain weird. "Typhoon" (kind of blue) "Shark" (sort of gray) "Bran," "Nightfall," "Chili" (a red and green and misc. checkered pattern) "Otter" (kind a green) "Kelp," "Grill," and my personal favorite, "Panda," which is blue and brown, unlike any panda I've seen.

Hunter Green, which is a kind of dark green. I believe the word for actual hunters who wear that shade is "dead"

Of the colors you mention, I've at least seen "shark" used before. The one I saw was a blue-gray, or possibly a gray-blue. "Otter" is green? And "panda" sounds like it's beyond wrong, and into the realm of fail.
