The color's been around longer. I know that for certain because my grandparents has some prewar Crayolas that included it. I think it's sort of a oblique reference for these nutballs.

I was second guessing myself. Some of my favorite watercolorists like Homer and Sargent had used it decades before the war. I should have remembered. It's a lovely color.
