To think ‘rose quartz’ does not describe a lingerie shade

[Theos]

i get that “nude” was not inclusive. Totally. But a bra is just light beige. Rose quartz isn’t even a colour!

id change them to better names. What was nude for white people is mid beige? Or just numbers?

any better ideas?

fir those obviously too lazy to read the thread, I did say right at the beginning that I encourage inclusivity in bra colours.

Not sure, though the quartz describes anything.

Im with you. They tights follow this colour naming too and FFS I have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

Give me pale, nude, tan etc and I know where I’m at. Opaline?!? No clue.

Opaline - untannable anaemic celt - out of date turkey thigh - milk frother needs cleaning. I can see why they went for opaline.

I think the original point was the nude was a very white subjective shade.

And cocoa and stuff was not exactly inclusive. There must be a better way that is inclusive and also accurate.

You know how when you work for a big company they have corporate colurs and they give you the numbers for red blue and green to put into the colour formatter to get the right shade?

I think we should be able to do that with tights and underwear

That way when I have worked out that I am 232/220/202 I can just order my underwear in that colour

I like the numbers idea. I’d have a better clue. Opaline?!? Really? It’s quite a dark color compared to my legs too. The alternative would be calling the different colors milk, weak tea, strong tea and coffee.

If they called the colours milk, weak tea, strong tea and coffee as @Aintnosupermum suggests we'd know exactly what colour they were. 😂

I can imagine the exact colour based on the name ‘rose quartz’

My Rose Quartz bra from M&S is not the same colour or anything like the colour of the small piece of Rose Quartz stone I have.
The small piece of stone is a pale pink. The bra is pale coffee coloured

Yes - I don't need to imagine, I know what colour the stone is, but unfortunately the colour M&S is calling 'rose quartz' is nothing like it.
