I'm not sure what is happening. Maybe it is computer monitors. Maybe it is a growing number of folks with vision issues. Maybe it is merely a case of old age. But I increasingly keep reading descriptions of what clearly looks to be ORANGE described as "RED"...! When did this start?

I see the pedal car here with the Bowman & Schwartz-looking spear is described as "RED"... huh?

A while back someone insisted to me that a 1956 Caribbean had a "RED" stripe. But then I saw the car and realized the stripe was Naples Orange. Somebody in this poor car's history got so carried away that they re-upholstered the interior out of RED leather (gulp!). A ghastly sight to behold...

AND... Not long ago I had someone insist to me that the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco is "RED." Got hot under the collar about it too! But anyone who knows that bridge should be aware that the color is "International Orange."

So are we experiencing mass hallucinations? Or what?
