| Also, changing the color name to NOUGAT isn't going to change the
physical color.
If group A feels strongly that it should be changed, and group B feels strongly
that it shouldn't, why did group A automatically get the change implemented?
Seeing as the vast majority of parts in the light flesh color are used for heads
from licensed themes portraying a character, actress, or actor with light flesh
skin tone, I fail to see the problem.
Obviously in real life, skin tones are a set of continuous data instead of discrete,
but one of the trade-offs of creating the licensed characters out of plastic
at a feasible cost is to standardize skin tones into a few discrete values and
apply a 'best fit' method to the continuous data.
Also, thanks for adding the extra key stroke by making a 5 letter color into
a 6 letter color. Can't wait to type 'NOUGAT' a bunch of times. PEACH
would have been better...

As "Nougat" is the official TLG color name for those colors, it makes sense to
me...why keep confusing the LEGO fans by always using different color names than
what the manufacturer uses? Just sayin'...

The nougat/flesh color was introduced about 20 years before it was used in minifigures.

| Sorry if my PC post, among others was toxic to anyone. [cough cough StormChaser]
It's actually a pretty good thing now that the Earth Orange color has been
split.
For the spreadsheet I use to upload parts, it was as simple as a single CTRL+F,
and replace for four affected colors.
Not sure why I let myself be so bothered by it.
Funny thing is that the number codes are still the same, so I could have left
everything as flesh and parts would have uploaded as nougats so it literally
didn't affect me at all.
I guess I was too caught up in wanting to retain familiar nomenclature.
However, I'm guessing, after a few months, the nougats will all be familiar
as well.
