In 1962, Binney & Smith chose to change the name Flesh to Peach in response to the Civil Rights Movement, since not all people are the same skin color. In 1999, the name Indian Red was changed to Chestnut because children wrongly perceived the color to be that of Native Americans, when in fact "Indian Red" had its roots in a dye from India.
Indian red was always one of my favorite crayons. I still remember what mine looked like. A good inch worn off the end, with a lot of the paper torn off.
The average child in the USA will wear down 730 crayons by his or her 10th birthday.
Not me. I don't think I used up any of mine. I never did learn to do color.
Other favorite colors were brick red and blue-gray (long since retired). Copper was pretty cool too.
