Actually, I remember hearing that they did polls to see what the public
thought would be more appropriate. The public chose "yellow" (or at least
"pre-existing brick color") over "flesh-tones". I'll grant you that at the time
they probably only polled in Europe (since they probably didn't have much of an
intercontinental market at that time), but if their customer base didn't want
true flesh-tones, they couldn't afford to ignore them.
