I understand how the comments above explain why "IndianRed" is problematic, as it can be read with bad connotations, despite unrelated etymology. I am not sure how this reasoning applies to "NavajoWhite". It's an odd name for a color, but I don't see how it's pejorative (and pretty much all css color names are odd). It includes the name of a people, but not in a stereotypical / disparaging way as far as I can tell. I'm even less convinced about "Moccasin", which is just the name of an object. Sure, it is a loanword, but so what? That doesn't make it into an offensive term. [Most words in English are loanwords](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_English_words_by_country_or_language_of_origin). -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5284#issuecomment-665474577 using your GitHub account
