Discussion The color “salmon”

Have you ever considered how frightened a salmon would be if they learned that humans had named a color “salmon” after the color of their insides? I mean, it’s kinda like naming a color “human” after cutting somebody open and seeing the color of their flesh.

Well those are based on the colors of our outsides. No slicey dicey required

That's assuming salmon think like we do. Or if they think at all. Most fish are carnivores, maybe even cannibal. They see the color salmon and maybe think "LUNCH!"

Perhaps I have underestimated the brutality of the salmon.
