I love the word brumal. It sounds like a fancy color from Rembrandt's palate, but it isn't a shade of sepia at all. Brumal is derived from the Latin brumalis ("of or pertaining to winter solstice; wintry") from bruma ("the winter solstice; winter") from brevima ("the shortest day"). Winter is my favorite season, and you can be sure I will be using brumal some time soon. Brumal is also an anagram for umbral, another great word for another day...
