Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
I always think of Ochre (always pronounced it Oaker) as being more of a red colour, probably on account of exploring a lot of old iron mines when I was in the scouts and coming up covered in red ochre mud, stained pretty well too, my old sleeping bag had a nice pink tint to the inside top due to that stuff.

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
Okra is a vegetable and ochre is a color. Oaker is the only correct way to pronounce ochre,case closed. It's an odd word for our language,but just because you thought wrong for a long time doesn't make it right. It's pronounced oaker...just oaker. That's a fact.

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
All us northern boys get our Okra at Cracker Barrel. It's on the menu of side orders. Since I'm from Missouri I am very familiar with it. LOL

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
This thread is funny to read through. Now I have a craving & know what to cook for supper tonight...OKRA...which is my vote on how to pronounce the color. However my husband thinks ochre is the green color
 & doesn't believe me that it's the yellow.Quote:
I'd forgotten about him...good tv for naps!

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
We don't know how to pronounce it because we are 'guys'. Any color beyond the basic crayola 8 is unknown to us. We use one of the basic 8 to describe anything outside the box. i.e., Mustard Yellow, Baby Puke Yellow, etc...
If you know more color names than that you gotta question whether you should be driving a truck.

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
Yep Oak-ra where I came from. When trying to describe to my friends or family I just call it "calf **** brown" if you grew up on a farm, you know what I'm talking about. (I hope this auto edits itself!)

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
Brett Favre is from the south, I bet he often eats okra, he might even have an Ochre colored truck. If he cut down Oak trees does that make him an Oaker? Ok I'm done now...By the way anybody see the Bob Ross when he had the squirrel in is shirt pocket while he painted, now thats talent!!!

Re: How do you pronounce 'orche'?
Interesting thread. I've never heard this color pronounced any way other than Oak-er... I had no idea there was any question about it
