Undated: A change in crayon colors

The Crayola crayon color "flesh" is changed to "peach." From the Crayola website: "Name voluntarily changed to 'peach' in 1962, partially as a result of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement." The website crayoncollecting.com adds a bit of background, stating that the color had in fact gone from "flesh tint" (1903) to "flesh" (1949) to "pink beige" (1956-57) to "flesh" (1958) to "peach" (1962).
