I saw on a host's FB page, that a viewer had urged her to stop using the word NUDE to refer to a shoe.
I did not see the shoe in question, but my thought was something like this color.
Do you think the viewer was offended by that word, NUDE, or that the implication is that it refers to a certain skin tone? I feel like hosts use that word a lot, especially when there are a few "neutral" colors to describe, as they encourage you to buy one neutral and one color.

One never knows. You see all the complaints here about what hosts say that offends people. I have no problem with the word nude.

Nude is not a color and I think we'll all be better off when people stop referring to pale, creamy, and light tan shades as "nude." It does imply that the only acceptable shade for nude is white and that's not acceptable to me.

Some people look to be offended at every turn.

I think it was that the color refered to a certain skin tone.

I've also seen bras and underpants advertised as nude and I often wonder, nude to who?

how would you describe the color of these shoes? they do look pale pink in the photo, but that's me.
nude is really the absence of clothing and not a color that's true.
i wear only two colors of lingerie. black and beige which i've always called nude. nude meant it did not show up against the skin. at least it didn't on my skin.
i guess now i wear black and beige lingere!

Some people are too dense to realize that's the name of a color and doesn't describe the state of the person wearing it. She must lead a sheltered life, because "nude" has been used to describe skin color for eons.

I tried to find a photo that best displays the "nude" I have heard them reference on air.
These are called "natural nubuck."
