Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Exploring Color Names
"We showed thousands of random colors like this to people on Mechanical Turk and asked what they would call them." The color label explorer lets you search through their answers visually. Just type a string like "dark" or "green" and only those names matching will show. Try "baby".
