When I was two or three I wanted a pink steam shovel for Christmas. My grandfather was going crazy because he could only find a red one. According to Mom, he was about to have a local auto shop repaint it pink. She had to explain that I called anything from pale orange to deep burgundy Pink. That red steam shovel was just fine. I still have it 60+ years later.
