Who started the point scoring Lane?  Oh the irony you got shitty with @Comic Dog and tried to destroy his site, came here didn't get what you wanted, started another site and have now gone full circle.  I'm sure many can see your lack of principles.

Not to mention that as a moderator on that site you are either not up to speed with the site owners moderation policy or you are applying it selectively.

"Karitane yellow" is an informal name for a particular shade of yellow, often described as baby-excrement-colored. This shade is associated with the Karitane Hospital and the community workers named Karitane, who provide parenting support in New Zealand. The name likely originated due to the association of the color with babies and the work of the Karitane organization.

Actually @Comic Dog I know quite a bit about colours on the internet.  The hex system of classifying colours is only one of 4 (there are more).  They are Hex, RGB, HSL and HSV.

So if we look at YOUR yellow and compare it with Karitane Yellow we see they are not too different your's just has a little bit more Chicken Madras in it to make it pastel.   As you yourself state there are numerous yellow shades associated with Karitane Yellow.  It was a colloquial term coined from the relationship to the Otago town of Karitane where Dr Truby King created one of his first childrens homes under the auspices of the Karitane Society which was a precursor to Plunket Society.  Wags started to associate the yellow with colour of baby poo which as anyone who has nursed children knows can have a variety of colours but during the intial breastfed milk phase is often varying shades of yellow.

Well you can understand why - in those days the welfare net wasn't all encompassing and I imagine he and his societies ended up picking up the slack.
