The classic 1960s song Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum was in my head as I toiled my way through this bland collection of words most commonly seen when trying to purchase white paint that isn’t white.
In fact, the song has been used several times as the soundtrack for TV commercials advertising white-ish paint.
Although I struggled to remember the words beyond the chorus – something about doing a “light fandango” (which would be a great name for a paint color), “colors in her hair”,“16 vestal virgins” and seeing a ghost and turning a light shade of VANILLA. Only one of those was helpful for this puzzle.
