Someday, perhaps the hues of our autumn foliage will be added to our chromatic nomenclature.

"I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods are so beautiful, our leaves should not complete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature."

Henry David Thoreau, "Autumnal Tints"
