I'm afraid the (colour-)wheels* have come off Wilson's new scheme.
He is having serious problems inventing his new colour, since so far all he's got is the name: Vermilingua International Blunk©®.
He confided to me that, the more pigments he adds to his colour, the more it resembles dark greyish brown, while what he'd had in mind was a much more cheerful and jolly shade — a piquant hue in which people would want to paint their bedrooms and kitchens. And their cars.
It would be a shame if he had to give up on this scheme, since (unlike many of his previous plans) it's keeping him out of trouble and not costing me a small fortune (as long as I can get those paint-stains off the solid wood worktops)... but I fear that might be the sensible thing to do.
Also it's a bit of a pity to waste a name like Blunk©® — but I expect he could use that for some other invention in the future.
