Logic tells us that the converse is true, and that one can take a continent and treat it as a colour term according to its projection on the Munsell palette. 'Africa', for instance, is a sort of yellowish-green that includes dark greens but not light greens or browns.

Gentlewoman is right.
A Snuggy would be overkill.

I think it is next to the wise old person who talks in riddles, Kathleen.
