The J. Crew school of color naming

I spent a good part of the day today looking for a full-time job (my design portfolio and resume, in case you missed the graphic over on the right there). One posting I ran across had this unusual requirement:

“Enjoy working with warm, gentle, sensuous colors, especially seafoam green”

I don’t know what “seafoam green” is, but I’m pretty sure the garish green-yellow color at the top of this page ain’t it.
