COLUMN ......................... Lizzie Enfield Notes from North Village Illustration by Joda (@joda_art) “It’s magenta!” said my ten-year-old son, without hesitation and with supreme confidence. We laughed and, several years later, were still teasing him for no reason, other than the unlikelihood of a ten year old having such a descriptive colour palette at his disposal. We’d been en route to Iceland when the ‘magenta’ incident occurred, boarding a WOW air flight. Its pinky purpley livery prompted my daughter’s question ‘what do you call that colour?’ Nobody expected her little brother to pipe up ‘magenta’ with the speed and surety that he did. He was a little embarrassed afterwards, as we ribbed him about perhaps having watched more episodes of Changing Rooms than was natural for a boy of his age, and covered his embarrassment with jokes about the irony of calling Iceland’s budget airline ‘WOW!’, as if the rigid upright seats and no frills everything were something to write home about. “Wow!” he said, as we took off. “Wow!” as he pulled the tray table down. “Wow!” as we admired the ‘magenta’ fabric of the seat covers. The rapid colour recognition was displaced but not forgotten. Over the intervening years it became a bit of a long-running, family, joke: A ‘what colour is that?’ cue given, whenever we spot something mauvish-crimson, a ‘guess what brand this is?’ when son brought home a new skateboard, made by ‘Magenta’. And, on one occasion, a discussion of what the kids might call their children and his siblings unable to resist saying that ‘Magenta’ was a nice name for a girl… I did say it was a ‘family’ joke. I realise that this whole column might be lost on others with children who call a magenta thing a magenta thing – or think they should, but it seemed strangely amusing at the time. And my son continued, for a while, to strangely amuse us with deliberate colour-coded observations about life. The Simpsons are not ‘yellow’ but ‘ochre or is it titanium?’ The neighbour’s grass is not greener but ‘more verdigris’ and the newly painted hallway is decidedly ‘anthracite’. I have a reputation in my family for keeping jokes going long past their sell by date (food too) and it was probably time to forget about ‘magenta’ and move on. And I probably would have done had it not been for a trip to the local Co-op. A friend was in the queue in front of me, taking her purse out to pay. The cashier was a teenager; perhaps a little older than my son is now, whom I vaguely recognised. I thought he might have been at the same school. And when my friend flicked through the various cards she had in her purse, I became convinced of it. “I can’t seem to find the right card,” she said to him, searching for her Co-op card. “What colour is it?” It’s blue. I know it’s blue. “Cerulean,” he replied, without hesitation and with supreme confidence. ....41....
