Redundance
Is it redundant to say champagne colored truck? You usually don't say red colored truck, black colored truck, etc. If it's not, why not?

Hi guest, If I don't know that "champagne" is the color, I may be tempted to sneak in the truck and look for alcohol. Others may have a different opinion, however.

Since champagne is not recognized as a 'common' color it is aptly descriptive. As Julie said, 'a champagne truck' could easily evoke another meaning.
