Handy Web Utility - Name that Color

Name That Color
Do you worry about confusing Cotton Seed with Silver Rust? Portica and Marigold Yellow? Emerald and Mantis? Are you part of the small percentage of folks who spend many hours wondering about color names? Then you're in luck! Thanks to the hard work of Chirag Mehta and his little Name that Color tool you can easily find out all those things and more.

For the record though: despite many great reasons we do not have any intention of changing the DS logo from Sushi Green to Olive Drab.

It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
