The Worst Paint Color Name Ever

I’m in the middle of moving and renovating my new house, so I’m of course spending insane amounts of time at the Lowes/Home Depot paint departments. Most of the paint colors have serene, peaceful names like “Azure Snow” or “Winter In Paris”, which is why “EVENING MOTH” by Martha Stewart really stood out as unnecessarily nasty.
Maybe it’s just me, but I hate moths with every fiber of my being. They’re clumsy, disgusting looking, fuzzy wads of meat that fly. And they know I hate them, so they’re always terrifying me by flying directly at my head. I don’t need to be reminded of that shit every time I walk into my freshly painted kitchen, ‘k?
What’s next, Martha? Prison Toilet Stain Brown? Hot Glue Gun Burn Red?

OMG, that is disgusting! But, it’s funny that it’s a Martha Stewart color.
Can’t imagine how you are managing to do all that, plus manage these two sites, PLUS whatever else you do.

hah, that is pretty funny. Although I could think of worse animals to name it after: namely, lugworms. Seriously, those things are disgusting. And I had to dissect one once. Moths aren’t too bad, they’re just misunderstood :)

I just think Martha had a lot of time on her hands back when she was in the slammer. Perhaps a moth flew into her cell one night and she had an epiphany?

i remember seeing an even worse one once. it was at lowe’s for their nickelodeon-themed paint. i forget the exact name, but it was called diaper poo or something like that! it was an icky brownish yellow colour too.

The paint I used in my living room is called “gargoyle growl.” I love that name! (it’s a soft grey-green-sage color)

I think you’ll find that the still occasionally encountered n166er brown is worse in a number of different ways – http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t306/shakesville/CouchLabel.jpg
