as a child growing up , the pale pink/beige colour was called Flesh coloured. In our multi cultural society, I think this is no longer an appropriate term so how would you describe it ?

"Neutral" or "Bland"?

I think we shouldn’t worry about such trivial things.

I just popped on to some lingerie sites for my favourite bras.
One brand still called the colour pale nude and neutral beige; the other site used sand, toast, or praline!

As an aside, I was a bit shocked at the prices! I guess I haven't purchased a bra for a while, but the costs have definitely increased!

Casdon

I don’t think anybody ever had skin the colour of germolene though did they?

You beat me to it Casdon
Glad I read the thread before posting!

Ha! Obviously not the FULL thread … I missed that it had been resurrected from 4 years ago! FannyCornforth had me doing a double take.
