“It is hard, if not impossible, to remember distinct colors.
This underscores the important fact that the visual memory is
very poor in comparison with our auditory memory. Often the latter

Though there are innumerable colors – shades and tones – in daily
vocabulary, there are only about 30 color names.”

“When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college – that my job was to teach people how
to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, ‘You mean they forget?'”
