I've suspected that catalog writers use random words to designate colors. Nothing is red, green or blue; it is ruby, emerald or topaz; or cherry, kale, or berry; or holly, pine or sagebrush. Sometimes other words modify the color - ruby red, grass green or sky blue. Catalog writers tend to get a bit too creative in designating colors but at least there has been some consistency in the designation. Pine is the same color throughout the catalog, as is navy, oak, moss, sky or sagebrush.

Cabela's has given up consistency in color designation and has allowed its catalog writers to run amok with the color designations. Dark mushroom is lighter than mushroom. Steele blue and dark blue are the same color but the steele blue on one page is different from the steele blue on another page.

This is going nowhere. I give up.

I found the color designations in Cabela's catalog a bit bewildering and sort of funny and then assumed that others would find it funny if I shared my bewilderment but then I just realized that I do not have the writing skills to make it funny or at least halfway interesting to read. I apologize for this piss poor attempt at witty observational humor.

Please move on. Nothing funny here.
