Colorful Cities
Maybe it's because I live in a city whose name is "Auburn", but today I decided to see how many colors are represented in place names of each state. I decided to stick with pretty basic color names:
- BLACK
- BLUE
- BROWN
- GRAY
- GREEN
- ORANGE
- PURPLE
- RED
- WHITE
- YELLOW
Here's what I found (note that I am not including every place with a color name, just one representative of each color name for each state; if it exsists). Places where taken from the 2010 U.S. Census data.
