Request for Reconsideration of the Color Name "Peru" (#CD853F) in HTML

Dear W3C Development Team,

My name is Julio Ortega, and I am reaching out to you to express a concern
related to the standard color names in HTML. I have noticed that the color
code #CD853F is known as "Peru" in the X11 color palette.

While I understand that color names are based on technical standards, I
would like to bring to your attention that associating this color code with
the name of a country may be offensive to some individuals. I am
particularly concerned about how the use of a color name coinciding with
that of a country might be interpreted and misused.

In the case of the color code #CD853F, known as "Peru," I kindly request
that you consider the possibility of reviewing and, if appropriate,
modifying the association of this color code with the name of a country.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and am willing to provide
additional information or discuss the issue in greater detail if desired.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
