"Alizarin" wuz da wurd Chas uzed whin listing da kullerz foah mye Cuisenaire rods. He couldn't be dull and borin and wryte down "purple" or "dark red." No. "Alizarin." I'm pritty zur I've seen him yews dais wurd befoah, prolly in a design sheet foah a kuller scheme foah a painting. Itz a wurd onwy an ardizt wud yews. He's gotz a mess ov udda fancy wurds in hiz kollecshun. Wurds he's lernd by reading ardizt paint tubes etc. Ize wuz struck by id too. Sittin between comin kullerz lyke orange, boo, green etc. Da udda wun dat gotz mee wuz "wood color." And he's ryet. Ize thod ov id az white. Butz itz nutt white. Itz nutt evun painted. Itz definitely "wood color."

You kud luk "alizarin" upe awn da indernette. I've dun dais. Da main ding Ize walked away wid wuz da hex code (#E32636) foah alizarin witch u cayne yews in .html font tags tah make yur letters luk purpley.

So datz da story, Morey.
