Deep chestnut is the colour called chestnut in Crayola crayons. This colour was also produced in a special limited edition in which it was called Vermont maple syrup.
At the request of educators worried that children (mistakenly) believed the name represented the skin colour of Native Americans, Crayola changed the name of their crayon colour "Indian Red", originally formulated in 1958, to "Chestnut" in 1999.[4] In reality, the colour Indian red has nothing to do with American Indians but is an iron oxide pigment the use of which is popular in India.
