Deep Indian red is the color called originally called
Indian red from its formulation in 1958 until 1999, but now called
chestnut, in
Crayola crayons. This color was also produced in a special limited edition in which it was called
Vermont maple syrup.
At the
request of educators worried that children (mistakenly) believed the name represented the
skin color of
Native Americans, Crayola changed the name of their crayon color
Indian Red to
Chestnut in 1999.[SUP]
[4][/SUP] In reality, the color Indian red has nothing to do with
American Indians but is an iron oxide pigment the use of which is popular in
India.
