Why can't you name the colors of your yarns something intuitive? For example, instead of calling something Mermaid, just call it Teal for Pete's sake. Mermaid, however, isn't that hard to figure out. Because, where do mermaids live? In the sea. And what color is the sea? Teal. (You've been lied to if you think it's just blue.) Summer Sky is also an intuitive alternate name for blue, because the sky is blue.
However, there are some names that just make no sense at all. For instance, Glamour. Lots of colors are glamorous. Even brown can be glamorous. How the heck am I supposed to know what color Glamour is supposed to be? So, because you name your yarns stupid things I have to go digging through the WHOLE line and ALL the colors to find one by the color number instead. And of course, I'll forget the color number along the way and then have to look it up again, or lose the sticky note it belongs and start the whole freaking process over again. Eventually, I figure out that Glamour is supposed to be pink.
I understand there are a lot of pink yarns in your line. So suck it up and use a thesaurus. Here's what Wikipedia has to say on the matter of pink. Obviously there are lots of different names for pink that still include pink in the title.

P.S. I've been sticking labels on yarn for six hours straight. My back is killing me. Humor me, please.
