Colour Squares

If our parents brought us to the hardware store as children, my sister and I would steal as many of the little paint sample colour squares as we could. We would then dutifully go home, cut them all up, and put them in our bags. Sometimes we would even trade them. I don't know what captivated us more - the colours themselves, or the lovely and evocative names that said far more than a wall painted any colour could aspire to. I wonder if anyone else did this?

Still, this advertisement, which I just found, brings the whole thing back...
