I'm not going to buy anything in a color that has the same name as a porn star.

It has to be Chelsea blue (blue like the sea). It has such a nice ring to it.

I feel if you wish to chose something abstract which has meaning to you, you should chose it. It's not like naming a blue colour. It's a very personal thing for you meant to conjure memories of your past. You should chose whichever speaks to you the loudest. Those choices do not relate to the colour; therefore, it is difficult for the public to make a colour choice based on someone else's memories. Everyone's just guessing at which name you like best. Just saying. I would have suggested Mosser Blue for something personal or Sea Glass for a description and something which brings a colour to mind.

I am not offended. Thank you for your kindness. As you alluded in your initial post, names can invoke memories both good and bad, both honorable and dishonorable. If I may venture an opinion: beauty cannot be overcome by ugliness. Chelsea, Brooklin and Georgica, as described by Food52, stand glorious and triumphant in their beauty.

I can respect that. I explained my objections to those three names in my original comment from a few weeks ago and I don't really have anything to add. The porn star link was not among those objections. It's a fun discussion.

Brooklin! absolutely! It flows, like a brook, it evokes the sparkle, the color, the charm of this beautiful color!

Georgica !!!!! Please it will remind all of us Mosser's of the late
Georgie Mosser. And when I met her son (my husband)in 1978 this color of blue was her favorite decorating color and remained in her home all the rest of her life

Chelsea! It reminds me of a long-ago weekend morning breakfast trip to a little Chelsea eatery when the sky was a crisp blue!
