This is a reply to Byeong-Uk Yi who argued that my Resemblance Nominalism fails to account for sentences featuring abstract nouns like (1) Carmine resembles vermillion more than it resembles French Blue and (2) Scarlet is a colour. I accept his criticism of what I said in my book on Resemblance Nominalism about (1), but then I go on to show how (1) can be accounted for. I reject his criticism of what I said in my book about (2). I also show how Resemblance Nominalism can account for other sentences featuring abstract nouns.
