About this word search
Many of these colors are borrowed from other things. Salmon pink, Apricot, Mustard and Olive green come from the kitchen, Jade and Emerald from the jewelry box, and Fuchsia from a flowering plant named after a German botanist. Magenta takes its name from a battle in northern Italy, fought in the same year the dye appeared.
With twenty-eight words hidden in every direction, reversed ones included, the long entries are the best place to begin. Primary color and Color wheel are written without spaces, and their shared letters can lead you astray. Teal and Jade are tiny by comparison and turn up more easily once most of the grid is crossed out.
Art teachers might follow up by asking students to bring in a paint chip or a scrap of fabric for one color from the list.
