Mix all the paint colors together and it's BLACK

In light science, we know that all the colors of the spectrum combine to make white.

The 2006 color of the year: GREY (hey, I'd buy one!)

I believe we're in for a big surprise. Of course, I have a secret hope...

"Per se, there won't be (a 2006 COY)"

Could RIC possibly have discovered the secret to 'color deletion' by eliminating the light waves that we see?!

Could 'Invisible' be the 2006 Color Of The Year?!!!

Whew, talk about the ultimate camouflage!

I take that comment as a "model", not a "color".

I think John has already hinted that if there are to be 75th anniversary jobbies, they will be model(s) in the current range with no binding. Add "no COTY 2006 per se" and what have you got?

Hmmmmmmm.....maybe it's a different type of wood, in natural finish--I guess that would not really be a "color...."

John Hall must get a real kick out of reading our COY predictions. I wonder if he would confirm a correct guess or just let it slide by.
H*ll, I'm still trying to figure out what the 'C' means!

My interpretation is there will be no new color for '06 but the '06 models will be identified as such very easily.

Indeed, I was just going to explain the verb être (to be)

Je suis (I am)
Tu est (you are)
Il est (he/she is)

pluriel :

Nous sommes (we are)
Vous êtes (you (pollite) are / you all are)
Ils sonts (they are)
