AND NOW another annoying story from the old days. "Once upon a time" my Dad had a parts store. He sold Acme automotive paint, back then, synthetic enamel, lacquer, and the then fairly new acrylic enamel.
One day someone calls up says something like "I need a XX of white code XYZ123 white."
I'm like ????? I said "what is this?"
"White!!" for WHITE!!
Well this goes on three Stooges style for a bit, and I'm getting REALLY frustrated.
It turns out is is WHITE TRUCK code whatever, WHITE COLOR
And it's true, there's no such thing as a "standard white" the way many think of "black"
