Apparently Acme couldn't read OR couldn't spell.

What Packard named Eire green Acme called Erie Green.
If it was a muddy brown color I could associate it with Erie.
Those of us who never make mistakes take this very seriously.

Randy, Eire green or Erie green - after reading the auction description your are color blind anyway.

Eh?

The fault was not with the seller of the chip chart - it was with ACME paint who misspelled EIRE as ERIE.
Apparently they didn't recognize that Ireland has been called EIRE forever and Ireland has always been associated with Green. Thus the geographic name for a shade of green,
All 56 colors were associated with a geographic name.
