On the contrary, I think "clasant" sounds rather harsh and blaring,
like a trumpet. Perfect for a hot colour. Which is why I chose
red - correctly, it turns out. I guess John Fisher and I think alike
in this respect. But I agree about the "sharday" - Chardonnay connection.
Hadn't thought of that one, but it might have influenced my choice
subconsciously (even though Chardonnay is a white wine rather than a
red wine...).
