red:
it doesn't happen so much anymore, but when i was growing up i was constantly called red by strangers. that always made me mad because it was in a teasing tone. i didn't get it. my hair isn't red! sure i'm called a redhead, but it isn't red for heavens sake! i once tried to match my hair color to my oil paints and found that it is a mix of burnt umber and raw sienna. okay, enough venting for now....
