Clues for the puzzle format are as follows: The initial letter of the color name for which you are searching; followed by the crossword clue; followed by the color sample—which appears at (or near) the end of the crossword blank. It helps if you can picture the color samples as pigments rather than printed colors. A completed crossword is shown on a website at: abecedariums.com. The answers are listed alphabetically on the back page along with equivalent names from well-known color vocabularies.
