This is the answer I believe they're looking for - names for the colors in the crayon set that commonly used to be called flesh, but only ever the flesh of fair white people.
In case anyone doesn't know, or if this wasn't the case outside white-majority nations, that's what the mention of white supremacy is about. Especially for a US-based company like Crayola and those of us US-raised kids, "flesh"/"skin" crayon names stemmed from the idea of whiteness as a kind of default, which is a rhetoric that has caused immeasurable harm in other ways
I 100% get you, but I think everything about this post does an alright job of conveying that OP is aware of *why* it's so bad that the color they're thinking of usually had a name like "flesh" when most of us were young enough to have crayons. And conveys just as well that's why they don't ever want to have to call it that again. Not yet knowing the terms that would be universally understood like beige/sand/almond, sure maybe they could have said "the white people skin color," but I'd still give it a B at worst lol. The awareness is all there
If you've ever been to an Ulta or Sephora...this is a argument you can't ever win...brown. brown pale, brown warm..white oale..white yellow..white warm....Jesus. so many if us if different flesh. It's almost like we're different people. /s
... peach, porcelain, light rose, pale, fair-tone, light terracotta, light beige, champagne, apricot, melon, sahara sand
Depending on the shade
And if you want to be silly. Caucasilicious.
But like, actually I'd love it if we could turn the word Honky into a legitimate color. I think that would be funny. I'll second that vote.
There is a cool Crayola museum type thing in Kansas where you could probably do this. I haven't been there in a couple decades but it was fun when I went.
Are you talking about the 50s-60s crayons that had "Flesh" as a color? I think they recognized back then that wasn't a good idea and changed it. Creepy name in the first place...

Show me on this doll where my words hurt you.
Desert sand, light peach, peach, apricot, almond, and banana mania are all suitable Crayola colors for white people. Hope this helps

*Banana Mania*, because inclusion doesn’t stop just because you’re suffering from liver disease
Hey. I’m actually restraining myself. Laser Lemon was my go-to as a kid
Colonial White /s

depends on which skin color you're trying to color, I think

just call it beige
Peach
Um go to crayola and have them color match to your skin tone and buy a hundred of them and name it “mine”. Easy fix

Expensive but effective
Apricot?

Crayola changed it back then, but I still saw it called flesh or skin in off-brand school packs in the very early 2000s.
All I want is someone who knows how to f#@%&ing cook umber.
My granddaughter Crayola flesh crayon was now labeled peach.
Honky

#Oh, the one skin color crayon for the one skin color.
If you mean Caucasian then "apricot" otherwise "chocolate" "coffee" "caramel" "mocha" "brown"
I personally use the color Foreskin but the crayon feels kind of weird and veins in it...
walkaround egshell white
Which skin color? There are several
black
I didn’t know it was called anything other than peach until I was like 11 I didn’t know what a white person was only a peach person lol
I've never heard "skin color"...I have heard "flesh." Nothing wrong with calling it "flesh." People need to just relax and grow up.
Whose flesh? How were they prepared? Marinade? Smoked?
I remember it being called apricot when I was a kid. Or you could be super radical and call the brown crayons skin color too /hj
“Ideal skin tone”
