   She has been advised to paint the nursery a color she dislikes, and   
   that has set off an exaggerated repugnance for the color and made it   
   into a symbol for everything she hates and can't escape.   
      
   Tangent:   
      
   When I was a Junior in college, I was assigned a trendy new dorm room   
   decorated in "deep yellow", which was in fact bright orange:   
   orange-print curtains, red-orange plastic chairs, orange bedspreads .   
   . . To this day, orange looks ugly to me.   
      
   Doesn't stop me from wearing a "taxicab"-color shirt when I ride my   
   diamond-frame.  But I'm looking for safety-yellow linen to make the   
   next one.   
      
   And on a total tangent:  why is it that when yellow is the only color   
   that can be seen through heavy rain, umbrellas come in every color   
   *except* yellow?
