Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown????
I’m sorry, but the color sample for this Crayon color does not look remotely brown to me. Nonetheless, I’m going to try to match it.

Read Niki’s comment on my Fuzzy Wuzzy post. The puzzle has been solved…Well, part of it. Don’t know why she added brown to the name.

You really got me started on this one! It all began as part of a “True Blue Heroes” crayon colour naming competition run by Crayola. They made special packs with numbered crayons and you had to give the crayons a name. Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown, was number 3 and the Crayon Color #3, Hero: Glenn Sylvester was Nominated by Aaron Sylvester, True Blue Heroes No. 3 Hero: Judi Newman was Nominated By: Blyss Galizia. They had a competition in Canada too. And here’s the interesting information: Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown was same color as Pink Flamingo apparently. (But this might just be ‘internet mis-information’). Crayola dropped the “Brown” in 2005. “Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown was discontinued as a color name but its true color remains with the newly renamed Fuzzy Wuzzy” Oh and fuzzy wuzzy was a bald bear.

Yes. I grew up with the Fuzzy Wuzzy pun. My first, I believe. Or was it just a funny homonym? So was Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown this same pink color? and was there a character named Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown? Seems like they would have used it for a shade of brown at least, dontchathink? Those Crayola folks…Crazola!!!

That’s a challenge and a half. Maybe fuschia though I think Marilyn might have been more accurate.

‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ is a shade of Pink that is 50% saturated and 80% bright. For reference purposes, Fuzzy Wuzzy has the hex value #CC6666.
Crayola issued this color in 1998 under the name ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy,’ and is currently available in the 120 pack of crayons.

Aha.. I wonder why it ended up as being Fuzzy Wuzzy brown in Jennifer’s prompt? Thanks for the info. I love curious souls who actually research these matters. It is such a gift you give to the rest of us, Niki.

Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. If Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, he wasn’t fuzzy, was he?

Exactly! Yet, I am always cautious with that rhyme. For it is based on a Rudyard Kipling poem. Based? The term was from 19c Britain and as such begets, both bigotry and warfare. Neither of which I have much time for. The colour however reminds me of the “Black Bear”. Which can also be brown. I have seen them running in the bush of B.C. We called them Cinnamon Bears. Even though they are truly blacks.

Fascinating but I don’t think the Fuzzy wuzzy bear is alluding to it, do you?

Probably not, or I would not have reminded everyone? Or, at least posted it. Still for an English boy after the WW2. There was a lot of prejudice there. Born of a different age, in a different place. Cheers Jamie
BTW … if FW was a bald bear, why is he being called fuzzy?. For as you point out, Judy, he wasn’t? Conundrum upon conundrum … hehe. J.

Nope. Not brown at all. Definitely a shade of red. But I guess what Crayola says goes haha. 😛 Love your images.

Thanks, Jennifer. If you look at my comments, Nikikinz has researched the subject of why a pink shade is called brown completely.
