Sigh...ok, here's my chance to help the unenlightened masses.
O-chre: n.
1. Any of several earthy mineral oxides of iron occurring in yellow, brown, or red and used as pigments.
2. A moderate orange yellow, from moderate or deep orange to moderate or strong yellow.
And, fwiw, I'm not gonna start using those particular color names unless I hear them in the school song:
"All hail to the Cream and the Ochre
If my lawnmower doesn't start I'll choke 'er"
Sheesh, I'm going back to my Ivory tower. (That's like a fancy white, for those that aren't sure...
)
