RS27 - please stop raising the roof - I don't mean Indian people.
I mean the color brown.
People are always talking about blue skies and green pastures - and brown gets shit.
In fact, brown doesn't even have the same rights as the other colors of the rainbow. I get why the rainbow doesn't have white or black in it - those two colors are the extremes of the color scale - but brown? No brown in the rainbow at all? Seems a little racist, Roy G. Biv.
But that isn't what burns my ass. What burns my ass is the color 'tan'.
Please explain to me the characteristics of tan that make it anything other than 'light brown'. If I were an extremely good looking alient and I came to you and said, "I have researched your culture and understand everything except for Brittney Spears being famous even though she is mediocre at singing, dancing and looking hot - oh and what 'tan' means."
You would say, "Tan is just like a light brown."
You can't say that about any other colors. You can't describe blue or red or green. Sorry, color-blind people, but this is why you aren't allowed to vote.
So when I am at the mall shopping for pants and the worker says, "Do you want them in black, or tan?" Don't be offended if I knock her out.
Because we all know that with my skin tone I need the khaki.

Maxie is a genius.
I'm a lighter shade of brown, AND I tan in the summer. Does that mean, in the summer, my skin is tan-tan? or perhaps dark-tan? Maybe Cafe con Leche? Or I guess that would really be Cafe con Pocita Leche.
I am down with brown...light brown
I would say tan is like a dark white.

I like "tan" lines...
Ecru, very fashionable colour choice for "tights" back in the day.
You should direct all color naming complaints to Crayola. It's probably their fault.
Brown is awesome. Why? Because I have brown hair and brown eyes. That is why.
Oh and violet would look fabulous on you. :)
Caca is the color brown, FYI.
Oh..you said 'khaki.'
