I once had a crayon that was 'cedar' coloured.
Yeah.

ROYGBIV = The spectrum

There are the primary colors - Red , Yellow & Blue
Secondary colors = two primaries mixed together.
Achromatic - I think lacking color like black White and maybe grey. Or grey maybe is considered neutral.
uuug... I forget half the shit I learn.
Then you have tone, shade, hue, tint, etc to derive all these other colors.
