-The Crayon Company gets it. Why don't you?-

I still hear people using the term "Flesh-color" to describe pink objects. I haven't heard anyone use the term "Prussian Blue" in place of midnight blue, so what's the problem?

Crayola substituted the adjectives for that very dark blue color crayon in 1958. Four years later, their "flesh" crayon became "peach."

Good for you, Crayola. You were in step with the Civil Rights Movement. Don't get overconfident, though. You're still responsible for these colors:

tickle me pink
mauvelous
fuzzy wuzzy brown
brink pink
macaroni and cheese
inch worm

Someday soon you may be in a department store, it doesn't matter which one. You may hear a salesrep shout over the instrumental Christmas music:
"Hey! Are we all out of those tickle me pink colored stockings? I got a brink pink lady here and she don't look so good in macaroni and cheese!"
