Please Stop Automatic Color Naming

This is getting out of hand. I have an olive green product labeled “puke.” PLEASE discontinue this feature!!

Is this a joke? I haven’t ever noticed that themes were named.

Hey @MyDigiDesigns ,

Can you please share a link to the product page from which the screenshot was taken?

I hadn’t either, but I just saw they are. Maybe a new change? But dang, ‘puke’ is definitely not a good one haha.

Bwhahaha! Ok, sorry, not funny, but funny. Anyhow, I found the feature interesting because sometimes I’m not sure what other folks would call a particular color and it’s interesting to see what Zazzle calls it. Made me re-think some of my color names.

My crimson and gold grad sticker is now apparently “Blood Red” - I don’t want AI deciding what my color names are.

LOL… I’d probably call it olive, maybe pea soup, but olive sounds nicer.

I also have some that have been named “blood red”

Here are all the ones of mine I’ve found that have “puke” as the color. I’ve also noticed some called “blood red” which I really don’t like. Additionally some are just flat out wrong, I had one that described a purple item as pink, things being called khaki or beige instead of sage, something that is hunter green being described as “blue green”, things without a background being called “transparent” which I think would really confuse customers.

Well, blood red might be amusing on Halloween products or goth-inspired products. :slightly_smiling_face:

I mean nothing on here should be described as blood red, well and puke obviously is a terrible choice too. Who thought this was a good idea?

Not great.  I checked a few of my products and now my gold color is described as “light tan” or “light brown.”

Perhaps if Zazzle is wanting the theme colors to have a name associated with them it would be better left to the creator to fill that section in.

Probably the same person who  came up with the Ambassador Program.

This is an excellent idea!

The irony, at least for me, is that I’ve never even seen puke of that color!

I have white clothing items which are now labeled “transparent.” Not great. I’d imagine that many people will avoid anything lableled transparent because it sounds like it will be see-through, whereas a customer who actually wants something transparent will be disappointed to receive an opaque product.

First I’ve heard of it - but it’s so wrong! So I checked my items and it turns out some with a yellow background have been labelled as “cream”,  and another with a bright peach background is now called “flesh” (whose flesh anyway? humans come in a lot of different ‘flesh’ colors! - and none of them are anything near this orange shade!)

But worst of all are my oven mitt sets - army green? There is no green! And the other option which is an orangey red is called “Black/Transparent”… Huh???

HAHA oh no :joy: Funny story, on my local Facebook forum, someone just posted something about a Laundromat and said ‘clear clothes’… I assume they meant CLEAN haha, but my mind still went to clear vinyl clothes for a second haha.
