I got corrected on my color names

I was having a discussion with my friend Daphne when another friend of mine, August, walked up. The following discussion happened: Daphne: I like the color of your shirt! Me: Yeah, it's a nice minty color August: Actually, it's sea foam... Me: THIS SUDDENLY BECAME VERY RELEVANT TO MY EDUCATION To be clear, August is a heterosexual cis-man. Maybe it's his inner academic that encouraged his exotic color usage.
