1:8

1:8 is a fairly large ratio.  If you bet on a horse that is 1:8, you would make quite a bit of cash.  But since this blog is for wedding information, I am not going to the horse races today.

This ratio is the number of names that he has for green compared to what you may have!! 

lime    clover     fern     moss     shamrock     peridot     celadon olive    kiwi    avocado    mint    honeydew    spring    sea foam fern    flora   pine   emerald   hunter   mist  

Ok, I actually found 20 names for shades of green.  But I don't think it ends here.  I think for almost every shade of the rainbow, I can find 8 to 10 names that most men would not even consider.

red   claret   burgundy   bordeaux   wine   garnet   ruby   apple   cherry   brick red  

And technically shades of pink are in the red family, too.

pink   fuchsia   cotton candy   bubble gum   rose   cerise   rouge  raspberry   berry   flamingo   azalea   magenta  

How about the blue shades?

ocean    cloudy   periwinkle  sky   arctic   turquoise  cornflower  marine   royal   midnight   light blue   azul   sapphire   navy turkish blue   capri    bahama blue   teal   aqua   tiffany blue  bluestone   jewel blue   baby blue   powder blue   desert blue

WOW!  Let's try purple.

lilac   grape   eggplant   majestic   violet   regal   lavender blue  aubergine   passion   pansy   orchid  mauve   

And let's not forget orange.  I think this one will be the hardest to find 8 shades but I will try.

peach   sunset   coral   cognac   burnt orange   cinnamon   tangerine   papaya   tiger lily   pumpkin  rust

Success with orange, so moving on to yellow.

sunrise  banana   canary   ivory   maize   buttercup   gold   sand   citrus  champagne  cream   

And just because I can, I will do brown

chocolate   sable   mocha   bronze   toffee  coffee  copper   penny   terra cotta   palomino     

So groom's give your bride a break when she is stressing over wedding colors.  There are so many to choose from and trying to coordinate all the colors for gowns, tuxes, accessories, flowers and decorations can be exhausting.
