Anyway, any of you call orange anything but orange? Every other color I see gets a one-syllable color. Purple is "blue", burgundy is "red", yellow is "gold", chartreuse is, well, whatever it's close to (isn't that greenish?).

So, anyone ever change orange to anything else?
I'm fairly sure I just mash it into a single syllable.

I have had a player wearing yellow correct me when I called it gold.

"Yes, but that's two syllables."
