Puce

He’d always had a problem with the word puce.

He remembers the time it first popped up. He was crossing the river on the ferry, a short ride from his residence to work. Two girls were arguing about the best colour for the shoes one of them was about to buy. They were looking at photographs that showed the outfit that one of them had on. The shoes would have to go with this. Their conversation was all about colours, basically. That was when that word came up. Because it was the colour eventually decided on, the word ‘puce’ came up several times, leaving him perplexed. First, he wondered whether it had any connection with vomit, then dismissing the thought, he looked it up on his phone. It really was an actual colour! Staring at the sample given, he saw it as a sort of poor cousin to maroon. It was really ghastly!

When they got off, he watched the girls make their way into town. He whispered to himself, “Good luck with that.”

Anyway, that was the first time. After this first encounter, the shock of it wasn’t so bad. When the bedspread and the eyeshadow came up, he felt only mildly nauseous.

Nevertheless, on all following occasions, he held the view that the person who had originally mixed the colours to create and name it, was probably in league with the devil!
