REFERRING to the ``decidedly unusual pink tinge'' occasionally observed around the sun ``when shining in a somewhat hazy sky, the colour being brought out with great distinctness if a light cloud happens to be passing across it'' (see NATURE, March 27, p. 503), I would mention that, under the described circumstances, I have often noticed last winter a peculiar colour, to which I would apply the French term velure d'oignon (onion skin), used to describe certain kinds of champagne. I offer this suggestion, as 1 know the value of precise and happily chosen terms, especially in the difficult matter of the terminology of colours.
