If you're teaching art,
Then "coooool" and "nice" should be the only words you have recourse to use.

Refer to brown as "burnt sienna"

I'm not really a proper 'art' teacher,
but close enough. And not only will I call yellowy brown, yellow ochre, but I will give you a long dull story about ochre

Oh I thought you were describing your dress sense as "like an art teacher's"
rather than "becoming more like an art's teacher's [which it should be, as I am one, or close enough]"

Our Art teacher was bonkers. Absolutely mental. I was never any good though so I didn't have to endure it past the age of 14.

I do like colours, though. Though you'd be hard pressed to describe the colour of my hair a few months ago. Crow said it best when he described it as "sunburst"- almost white at the roots, going yellow and orange towards the ends. Truly spectacular.

sweet
there's a really good book about colour by victoria Finlay. It's all about where dyes and pigments come from. It led to many of my friends never mentioning colours around me in case it set me off on one
