Heh, I grew up in the days after they renamed it "peach" but somehow independently figured out that was the closest they had to caucasian skin color so I used it. Or if I didn't have that crayon I'd just draw black people.
I remember in art class in 4th grade, a friend of mine drew a person with a black crayon (he was from Nigeria). I was completely baffled and asked him why he didn't use flesh color.
I guess it's kind of nice how ignorant I was of racism. On the other hand- come on, dude!
I remember a moronic high school English teacher that didn't know what "umber" was and marking me down on a paper ... "burnt umber" of course being a Crayola color...
I wonder what they have against real dark brown and real light blue? Ah, I see a second shade of blue they discontinued. Probably needed the names for some other shades...
