== Rewrite! ==▼
Any article that makes a number of factual claims and only after several paragraphs inserts a sentence to the effect of "This is not a universal thing and is different depending who you talk to and where you are" needs to be totally rewritten. If nothing else the point that "this is not a universal thing" needs to go at the very front of the article.▼
Beyond that this article sounds a lot like someone is describing an urban legend as if it were fact.▼
Imma look into this and if no one else wants to take on the rewrite I'll do that. (I'll probably delete 80% of the material.) [[User:Hmoulding|Hmoulding]] ([[User talk:Hmoulding|talk]]) 14:57, 1 May 2017 (UTC)▼

Are we really still pretending the list only has 10 colors? I remember it being at least 20 colors long, including mustard (size queen) and plaid (into red heads, a reference the British Isles have a higher ratio of them), etc. --[[User:RThompson82|RThompson82]] ([[User talk:RThompson82|talk]]) 03:12, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
:If you're asking if anything has changed since the last time you asked (over four years ago, two sections above this one) the short answer is "no". [[User:HalJor|HalJor]] ([[User talk:HalJor|talk]]) 14:45, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

:The last two paragraphs of the lede do seem to indicate uncited/original research, but the Origin and Examples sections are better and have at least of a couple of reliable sources. I'll take a look later, when I'm not supposed to be working. [[User:HalJor|HalJor]] ([[User talk:HalJor|talk]]) 17:10, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
