Auto Color-Naming is Using Bad Color Names = PUKE

[prentissbarr]

I know another Zazzler reported this, but I don't think it was in the Technical Issues forum -- want to be sure the tech team gets this!

Can you please review/revise the auto color-naming? All olive green items are being named "Puke" throughout the system. I'm sure this must be set up with a service that does color-naming, but this really needs to be changed right away. Thank you, Tech Team!

I'm sure they are using AI to auto-name the colors, and AI apparently doesn't like that color, LOL!

I’m sure they are too! It really made me laugh out loud. Sometimes AI is a win, but other times it’s really a fail lol.

I bet so many customers have laughed in disbelief at PUKE on all the millions of Zazzle items!

I've passed this along.

Thank you, @Scott ! Also on the other thread many creators were saying they would prefer not to have the auto color naming because it is very inaccurate or unappealing . For instance it is calling some items “blood red.” And in other cases it is just incorrect — it calls a light beige tone “flesh” which is a bad color name anyway, but is also discriminatory and non-inclusive of humans and will be offensive to customers. 

Thank you for working to correct these issues! I would suggest just turning it off.

Oh this is a nice one. Two business cards that have pink flowers all over them and both variations are named 'midnight blue' with dark color dots. 🙈

From the examples posted here and on checking my own items, it seems the new (?) bot, or whatever, is only using the BACKGROUND color to use for selecting colors. Second choice seems to be from colors in the tags and descriptions.

A different POD called that greenish color "Mojito." Seemed classier to me.
