Rather disgruntled at the moment that if I describe Traynor as having ‘tan’ skin or ‘bronze’ skin people not familiar with the character will see her as white with a tan, despite ‘tan’ being a color, not just a condition. ‘Light brown’ lacks panache.
The thesaurus suggestions are hilarious. No, she does not have ‘saddle’ colored skin. WTF. Who uses ‘saddle’ as color?
No, definitely not ‘oatmeal.’
People tend to say ‘Olive’ to my colour of skin, which is, as far as I’m concerned “light brown”. Whether that’s helpful for Traynor I’m not sure.
