If you can't find the right English word.....

So I'm looking for sheets in colours that were up to the minute...in the 80s. 

Not having much luck with Oz sellers so I soon found myself looking at sheets from China...as you do.

I was amused to find after looking at a sheet colour described as 'Deep Coffee' the problem of what to call a lighter shade was solved by labelling it as 'Shallow Coffee'.

It's so hard to find products in that wonderful shade known as Shallow Purple, too.

Also somewhat rare: anything in Transitional Pink.

Thanks for the giggle.

A seller of beads has some acrylic ones with a textured surface, which I guess they thought was similar to crepe paper. 

They list them as "Cr apy" beads. (No spaces, just didn't want the word to get bleeped).

That gave me a good giggle zanadoo.
