The Colour Illuminati

Making Light tells us of the sekrit conspiracy that decides what colours domestic appliances and clothes will be each year. Yes, there really is a cabal that meets and decides that beige will be the new black (actually, grey is the new black, this year). They also come up with the ridiculous marketspeak names for them.

These are the official colours for "Transportation and Related":

Tusk-Ivory influences aluminum reflecting the global warming of silver.
Acier-Sounds like French, but this steely gray is really from Pittsburgh, and has universal appeal. It is an expansion of the cool metals.
Aloeminium-The healing power of aloe combines with aluminum.
Mystic Quartz-A purple whisper adds mystery to silver; mature, technical and genderless.
Broadway Bronze-This dark and murky complex neutral is pulled from the streets of the concrete jungle.
Peace-A unifying global blue represents peace on earth.

But do One Anglia know about them?
