Re: Prudence

Maroon I think
I can't get beyond the "prude" part. Even if you can get beyond the "uptight killjoy", it sounds like "puce" which is unpleasant on the ears and a maroon-like shade
Not that I don't like maroon. I actually like that colour quite a bit. It was the colour of my high school uniform so it's an academic colour to me. When I got to uni, I bought a couple of uni-branded jumpers and I purposely got the maroon ones because while I prefer blue and yellow (uni colours), I didn't feel like it was right xD but that's just me. I likely wouldn't choose to use it outside of that reason
