Grey or Brown

Overall, Thumper is great with her colours - she can correctly identify pretty much all of them, and has been able to do so for at least 4 or 5 months now. However, in the bath tonight, Thumper was playing with four plastic blocks: three blue ones and one grey one. She held a blue one up and said "This is blue." I agreed with her that it was indeed blue. Then she held the grey one up and said "This is brown."

I find this interesting because BallFiend did exactly the same thing - always said that brown was grey (and in fact, he still does occasionally). One of the carers at his creche is from Eritrea and another from India; both have quite dark brown skin and I distinctly remember BallFiend describing their skin as grey.
