Pewter is a metal alloy that tarnishes to a dull dark grey color, often 
used for things like chess pieces and figurines.

Maybe a better alias would be ash_grey.



Parchment is the paper that the american constitution is written on, and 
it's like a yellowy beige.

Tangerine is a fruit like an orange but it's a more reddish color.

By brick I mean a dark red color like what was used in Oink.

Then you have colors like chartreuse which is like a lime green with some 
yellow in it:  The 2600 has its share of these colors.
