No-one knows, but most paints seem to come with this type of name. People these days don't know their Ochre from their Umber, let alone their Party Surprise from their Taffeta Dream, but most are familiar with celebrities. And fortunately celebrities come in a wide variety of colours. They therefore provide an ideal reference system for colour.

So when describing the colours you are decorating the house in use the paint colour chart below and everyone will know what you are talking about. Also, should you wish to paint your lounge in a combination of George Best and Michael Jackson for example, the corresponding names from the Dulux paint range are given below for your convenience.
