YELLOW = straw, sun, sunburst, maize, dandelion

OLIVE GREEN = tarragon, aloe, surplus, bayleaf

LIGHT GREEN = kiwi, mint, arctic, willow, water, blade

RED = brick, chili pepper, grenadine, punch, rose, rosewood

PINK = coral, shell, watermelon, fire, orchid, petal

BLUE = royal, sky, mist, wave, lake, storm, oasis, cornflower
