My daughter recently drew a picture of herself and one of her school friends. She made herself pink and her friend brown. Neither color was exactly โ€ฆ right. And as a budding artist, she was bothered by the limitations of her crayons. Just as her hair isnโ€™t really โ€œredโ€ and her skin isnโ€™t really โ€œpink,โ€ her friendโ€™s skin wasnโ€™t exactly โ€œbrownโ€ or โ€œblack.โ€ Nothing quite worked.

But now! No kid (or adult) will have to settle for pink, brown, yellow, red, or black. We can all draw our own color โ€” the skin shades we really are. This set of 15, eco-friendly artist-quality people pencils from Stubby Pencil Studio can be blended to achieve any human skin color. Viva la difference!

Itโ€™s hard to even remember when there was a pink color called โ€œflesh,โ€ isnโ€™t it. -Rita
