PUCE

It's too close to puke and deuce to me, and it pisses me off that it doesn't sound like the colour it makes.

Wow, I also don't like that word because it's not appealing at all. Color names should be appealing, damn it.

I have no idea why they named a color after flees.

"The color is said to be the color of the bloodstains remaining on linen or bedsheets, even after being laundered, from a flea's droppings or after a flea has been crushed."

So it is related to deuces. Tiny flea shit stains okay.
Wow the more I learn about the word, the more I wish I could hulk out over it.

IIRC, the French historian Claude Manceron has a riff somewhere in his 5 volume history of the French Revolution on the fad for puce at the French court in Marie Antoinette's day, and the shades of puce then available apparently included "young flea" and "old flea," leaving the impression that the color was based on the flea itself after it has fed on blood.
