choices too many

I was at Michael's the other day. A asked me to pick up some paint for him. He wanted acrylic paint. Red, Green and White. You know...for Christmas. I thought it would be an easy thing to do. Just pick up a few tubes of paint. Until I saw my choices....

Crap. There must have been about 40 different reds! Crimson Red, Tuscan Red, Cherry Red, Berry Red, Real Red....Real Red? Does that mean the others aren't really red??
The greens weren't any easier...Forest green, Moss green, Olive Green, Fern Green, Bright Green, Christmas Green...wait a minute!! Did that one say Christmas Green! woohoo!
At least the white was easy. "Basic White". No hard decisions there.
PS -- next time A wants paint, he's coming to Michael's with me!
