Quote from Blanche in End of the Curse
Blanche: See, it starts out red, and if it doesn't change color, they say you're not pregnant. If you are, it turns pink or grey. Rose: I had drapes that color once. I think it's called puce. Blanche: Is that what puce is? I always wondered. Rose: That's what the decorator told me. Sophia: Oh, it looks lavender to me. Rose: I hated those drapes. Blanche: Lavender's a great color on me, brings out my eyes. Rose: Your eyes aren't lavender.
