@davidallengreen When I was at college I was once asked by some of the art students what my favourite colour was, for a survey they were doing as part of an assignment.
I told them, “black”.
And they said “ok, but black’s not a colour, it’s a shade. So what’s your favourite colour?”
I was so annoyed I just told them my favourite was “very, very, very fucking dark blue. That looks black.”
Thank your for triggering that memory!
