This isn't the first time that Crayola has caved in and renamed some of it's colors, we've begrudgingly accepted that a little change is occasionally necessary. We gradually accepted the trendy shift that introduced colors associated with well-known objects, eg. 'Macaroni & Cheese'.
But this time they've gone too far. It would have been barely tolerable to give the colors names of emotions (eg. 'Envy Green'). These latest changes, however, have to be a discouraging forecast of impending mamby-pambyism.

1) super happy
2) fun in the sun
3) giving tree
4) bear hug
5) happy ever after
6) famous
7) best friends
8) awesome

People, this has to be stopped or the next step will be:

Christ, that's terrible. These colours sound more like the messages that you'd find on Love Hearts candies.
Hi p0nk, thanks for stopping by the other day. I, too, was bemused by the new colour names on some crayola products I bought for my son recently. 'Yes Yes Yellow'? 'Please Pink'? 'Pattycake Purple'? Each individual word makes sense, but together it's crazy talk.
