I thought of Jenny Joseph’s poem, when I read this (guff!?) about the Pantone colour of the year. It’s basically purple, but they’ve called it Very Peri confused

We are living in transformative times. PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. As we emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways. Digital design helps us to stretch the limits of reality, opening the door to a dynamic virtual world where we can explore and create new colour possibilities. With trends in gaming, the expanding popularity of the metaverse and rising artistic community in the digital space PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri illustrates the fusion of modern life and how colour trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vice versa

Thats the saying I grew up with, 'Fur coat, no knickers' used for someone was all show, but not as well off as they pretended.

^I’d go for sky blue pink myself^

As a child I used to say that was my favourite colour but wonder now whether it was just made up so Oops it’s good to hear you use it

In my family too we used the term Sky blue pink! (Surrey and Home Counties based on both sides.

My family (Yorkshire) used "sky blue pink with yellow dots on". It was used (as were so many phrases) to shut chidren up.So if you were pestering about something and asking for minute details when you asked the colour you would be told "Sky etc."
