There was an MSN commercial a number of years ago featuring a woman in a hotel room talking on her cell phone to her company. She said something like "What do you mean no one wears chartreuse anymore? I'm wearing chartreuse right now!" In the shot, there was a close-up of her feet and legs in a pair of translucent stockings. So for a number of years, I thought chartreuse meant translucent, instead of the pale green color that it is. Anything like this happen to anyone else here? Oh, and you get special consideration for 10 points if you can shed any light on why MSN's commercial would have a shot that made no sense in context.

the point was most likely that she was on a work conference call and no one KNEW what she was wearing any color, and she was fibbing.
If not, the stockings might have been a lite shade of lime green, and men are often to some degree color blind, and you might have missed it.

I guess that they figured anyone who had a crayon box as a kid would know that chartreuse was a shade of green. That commercial was made when everybody wore sheer stockings, unlike now where we are forced to look at someones painted toe's because some insane California designer decided that women should go around with bare feet and legs, no matter where in the country they live, or what their job is, of how gauche it looks in a business suit..

No, I have not. However, the shot of her legs is purely for sex. Yes, that is very common in advertising. It is proven that if your blood pressure and body temperature rise slightly that you are more likely to remember the commercial, etc. Obviously, you DID remember it, and you remembered the shot they wanted you to remember: LEGS. Unfortunately, it was done poorly because you don't remember what the commercial was for.
