> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TheTailor \* > \*\*How about Catholic School Girl Nipple pink? \*\* One of my first race cars was painted with a mixture of left over paints. Mostly orange with some white and yellow. The track announcer called my the the “Pitty Tink” colored car. It would also make a nice crayon color too. ---

My ex-husband once referred t a shade of nail polish that I happened to be wearing as “pussy-lip pink.” Can’t remember the actual name of the shade, bu I do remember laughing hysterically. I think that’d make a fine Crayola color. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by racer72 \* > \*\* > [Flesh] > > Retired in the early 60’s. Now known as apricot.\*\* Are you sure about that early '60’s thing? Because I had a new box of Crayolas in the early '70’s, and it most definitely included the orangey-pink “Flesh” crayon. The Crayola site is mysteriously silent on the subject of the “Flesh” crayon. I seem to recall that I tended to color people “Peach” anyway…😛 ---

> [@](#): > > _ **AHunter** said:_ > I want 60 different shades of flesh… ROTFLMAO!!! Brilliant! The “Solitary Confinement, What Sun, Undernourished Caucasian” goes two slots down from the “Caucasian Cube Farm Office Worker”… Still looking for that “Plump Golden Chinese Northern City-Dweller”, although the “Sun-shy Irish Librarian with Freckles” is definitely intriguing. 😃 I’ll look forward to the boxed set. Meanwhile, someone should get going on the Photoshop swatches… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by AHunter3 \* > \*\* > I want 60 different shades of flesh. > > \>snip > > Skin colors are so cool! \*\* Thank you for understanding the point I was trying to make. I too remember the pinkish-orangish coloured crayon known as _Flesh_, from my childhood in the 1970’s. I also remember thinking that the colour it left on white paper didn’t look anything like anybody that I knew.
