Interesting. You say with pride that you were the first to coin the term "hex tube", but have a problem with someone naming a color? I don't see the logic.

Ahhh. Another hobby Einstein. Evvvvverybody has an attitude and an argument. And everybody has a navel. Except we are not talking about navels. Which is fine as long as your argument has a LEGITIMATE POINT.
The HUMONGOUS difference with "hextube" is I ADMIT I created/coined the term and it was NOT one used by Monark-Silver King, Inc. There was ZERO name for this frame used by the manufacturer. I have stated this several times. So I gave it a name.... that people still use today. Like it or not.
If YOU were around collecting these Monarks and Silver Kings and writing magazine articles about them in the 1960s to 1990s, then YOU could have used your creativity and intellect to coin your own name. So?
However.... People in this hobby today say "GUMBY GREEN" and use it in both descriptions and even sales ads/auctions as if it is the actual name of the color. Most not knowing there was a REAL FACTORY NAME FOR THE COLOR. Many people have become convinced that "GUMBY GREEN " IS the name of the color supplied by the manufacturer. MSK NEVER called this color "GUMBY GREEN." IF someone is going to use this term INSTEAD of the actual name, then they ought to "pridefully" state that it is a name made up by an eBay seller in recent years and NOT the authentic name of this color.
This isn't about ME... it is about YOU and others using this name without knowing or acknowledging that it is a modern made-up name the factory never used. OR... would you prefer that people remain uninformed about these facts? If so... why?????

You are making a lot of assumptions about me. Seems to be your modus operandi. Fair enough, but here's a riddle that might interest you. Why couldn't the Monark color be called Gumby Green?
OK so since we're done here, maybe someone will read this.....it's because the traditional Gumby that we all know and love wasn't created until around 1955. So that's the end of my navel gazing .
Wow!!!! To be honest I use to know the actual color name, but over the years I have forgotten, I believe it was (Pastell Acqua) !! If you don't call it Gumby Green these days seems many ask why!!! Chill!
