Plus-sized clothing labeled "manatee gray"

The BBC reports.

Oh man, that is pretty funny. The article says that Target alleges they use the color name "manatee gray" for a variety of gray-colored Target products, not just apparel, but man oh man if it isn't damning that the very same color for slenderer women was labeled "heather gray" and that it was only the plus-sized womens' clothing which had the manatee label.

You can find skinny jeans in Manatee Gray. It's a common color name.

Is this an unfortunate coincidence? Yes. Is this intentionally malicious towards fat people? No.

All clothes sizes should be renamed accordingly. Personally, I'd dig Walrus Brown

I'd quite like Swollen Pumpkin, myself, although I don't generally like orange.
