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.
YES.

Skin colors are so cool!
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.
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…
what, Blue with red stripes at the sleeve?
(dont worry, one person will get that joke)
I would love to see Hungover fuzz grey.
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…
It’s freezing cold fingernail bed blue
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.
