Please Stop Automatic Color Naming

[MyDigiDesigns]

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. 

[jophb]

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

Hey @MyDigiDesigns,

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

[MyDigiDesigns]

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.

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.

This is an excellent idea!

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.

[PenguinPower]

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

[newradiance]

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

[MyDigiDesigns]

I also have some that have been named "blood red"

[alissag]

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?

[SJoy]

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

[Jadendreamer13]

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

[ChromaMaven]

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

[Zorinda]

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

[rebeccaheartsny]

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.

[jophb]

HAHA oh no 😂 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. 

[Artellus]

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????

But - still can't beat that "Puke"!!! 🤢

[Windy]

It's another day at Zazzle. Hilarity ensues. 

[jophb]

I have a very bright pink invitation labeled as 'white'... I assume because of the fonts and art? But the entire background is pink. I also have another version that has a black background, white fonts and gold glitter (but overall black) and it's labeled as 'taupe'. And another that calls it 'Dusty Rose/Dusty Rose' despite it being mostly black with pink fonts and art.

[Zorinda]

What’s kind of astonishing about this boneheaded new ‘feature’ is that it probably went through at least a layer or two approvals at Zazzle.  😳🤡

I'm sorry this has happened to you, but I have to admit that I laughed very hard when I read this!
