Colors
I have a shirt that guys call "pink." Girls, on the other hand, properly call it "salmon." Well, it's time that someone educated guys on colors. Salmon is as different from pink as maroon is from red. Or green yellow from yellow green for that matter.

You misspelled "salmon". The correct spelling is "f-i-s-h p-i-n-k".
Why is the color "dark salmon" lighter than the one you have up top that you also call salmon. To me it just looks like dark pink.
Thanks for that educational lesson! I happen to enjoy the word "burlywood." I think I'll wear burlywood more often. I happen to name colors at random, rather than by html. For instance my government teacher in high school, Coach McCrary, had this bright salmon-colored shirt he wore ALL THE TIME, so I nicknamed it "McCrary Mango." Maybe if you make up a jazzy name for your salmon shirt you can obliterate people's minds when they question your fashion sense. Or you can stick with salmon. You choose...
