Some Target shoppers say a label that listed the color of a plus-size dress as "manatee gray" was insulting.
The label for the same dress in smaller sizes described it as "dark heather gray."
The color switch-a-roo was noticed by online shopper Susan Clemens, who promptly captured images of the color titles and tweeted it at Target.

At least they didn't call it Elephant Grey.

For some reason I find this quite hilarious.

Man, include a 'width' tag in your html. Like 'width=600" or something like that. A pic that big at full size messes the board up a little. Like this-

If I were Target I wouldn’t even worry about it. The overwhelming number of Americans (judging by the results of the last election) who even know what a manatee is is probably quite small.

I remember when I was a kid, there was an actual section of the little girls dress department called “Chubettes.” I bet they don’t have THAT anymore!

Now that’s what a “heather gray” manatee looks like! LOL

There actually is a gray color called "Manatee Grey". Glidden uses it for paint. And there is a dark heather gray.
Being a male, I really only recognize 4-5 colors. But it amazes me the thousands of color names there are out there.
I couldn't find a dark heather grey paint. There were dark heather grey clothes, and they looked like lots of different greys to me.
