Question
Read the following passage and answer the question.
Charlene and her father were in the paint store deciding what color paint to buy. "What color do you want your bedroom painted?" asked Dad. "Oh, I don't care," replied Charlene. "But look at these yucky green paint chips! Paint it any color but that." "Okay, Charlene, green is out. Do you like any of these pinks?" "Pink's not for you. Do you like any of these blues? We can paint it a baby blue, or a greenish blue, or even a robin's-egg blue. What do you think about blue, Charlene?" asked Dad, sounding a little annoyed. "I really don't care, Dad. I'll go with any color. But blue is so depressing. Don't paint it blue."
"Yellow is a cheerful color. Do you like yellow, Charlene? Look, here's a sunny yellow and buttercup yellow and even a gold. Would any of these work for you?" asked Dad. "Yellow makes me nervous. It's too jittery! These yellows are too greenish. But, dad, I said I don't care. If you want to paint my room yellow, I guess I'll just have to live with it." Almost in depression, Dad said, "Peach! We haven't look at any peach paint chips. Charlene, look at these chips. What do you think?" "Oh look, Dad, this peach is soft and soothing, and this peach has the glow of the setting sun. These colors are lovely, Dad. But you choose, Dad. I'll be happy with whatever color you paint my room."
