Geocache Description:


Chestnut is a member of the brown family.

At the request of educators worried that children (mistakenly) believed the name represented the skin color of Native Americans, a crayon manufacturer changed the name of their crayon color Indian Red, originally formulated in 1958, to Chestnut in 1999. In reality, the color Indian Red has nothing to do with American Indians but is an iron oxide pigment the use of which is popular in India.
