In 2019 Faber-Castell made a change to our "flesh and skin" color names.
There were also color name changes some time ago (prior to the year 2000). These colors were renamed in an effort to offer products that the artist is familiar with when working with other mediums in the market.
Name changes do not occur frequently and additional changes should not be expected. The quality and performance of the product itself remains the same and has not been altered.
