Colors

I was mopping the floor, trying to get done before closing. An elderly shuffling lady asked me
"What colour do you suppose this floor is?"

Our tiles are several mismatch rectangles ranging from dark brown, light brown, tan, fake wood grain, etc etc. I looked at her and said.
"Brown. Several shades of brown."
She then went on to ask how it was made, (like was it linoleum or tiled in there). I professed my lack of knowledge on the subject.
She mentioned it was pretty, and we should wax it.

She'd been staring too heavily at our floor, it seemed.
