Yeah, we have your tropical colors. What would you like? Redish-tan?
Greenish-tan? Bluish tan? We're running a special this week on tanish gray.

They tried to pass a county ordinance that specified paint color had
to be 'approved'. No definition of an 'approved' color was included,
left up to the building inspector. There were a lot of other
Ayatollah restrictions included. It was put were the sun doesn't
shine by our county attorney. Not satisfied with that, they hired a
consultant attorney who told them "put it where the sun don't shine".
