The Martha Blends

There's a new Home Depot ad running on the radio which refers to the Martha Stewart paint collection.

Apparently Martha has hand-selected two hundred and thirty-some colors to help folks brighten their home.

Two hundred and thirty colors? Hand selected?

I'd say Martha has just a little bit of ADHD going on wouldn't you?

How does one even get that many colors anyway? As I remember my studies from high school art class, there are only three primary colors. To come up with two hundred and thirty colors from the three primary colors would require such infinitesimal differences in blend that....

... Oh, I get it. Martha's been hitting the Red Bull a little hard. Shaky hands lead to lots of blending oops that become new colors.
