Bingo. A kid could learn a lot of culture from the good old box of 64 Crayons. You've got mauve and ochre and burnt sienna and who could ever forget raw umber. Good old raw umber.

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?

Just to add a little confusion, the mountains west of the Salt Lake Valley are the Oquirrh Mountains, pronounced the same as ochre (oaker).
