He then corrected himself. What he meant to say, was pencils of color.
My wife got a new set of colored pencils and was excitedly showing off how many different colors there were. She asks me "Guess how many shades of grey there are?" Too easy. Me: (without looking up from my phone) About 50? Her: Groan and a glare in my direction
Recently my grandmother bought me a pack of colored pencils, under the condition that I practice and eventually draw her something. I was visiting my family and telling my grandma about my attempts at using the pencils. I explained to her that I had drawn some okay hair, and an eye. My dad was in the room doing something or other and suddenly butts in, "An eye? Not an O or a U..?"
My grandma and I just groaned and continued our conversation while he chuckled to himself.
