He may have been overly-sensitive about Clinton brown and Tucker chocolate, but he probably had a point when they came out with “As black as Clinton Tucker”
He needs to file a class action suit with Titanium White.
This will have a predicable outcome. Whatever the merits of his lawsuit, Clinton Tucker, per his intentions, will get a settlement, and the paint names will be changed. Political correctness always wins as ultimately our society and media make it too expensive to fight.
They could call that one “Byrd White”.
Some people are injustice collectors.
Clinton brown is obvious reference to our first black president.
How about cracker white.
All:
God save your majesty!
Cade:
I thank you, good people—there shall be no money; all shall eat
and drink on my score, and I will apparel them all in one livery,
that they may agree like brothers, and worship me their lord.
Dick:
The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
Cade:

Perhaps his parents should not have named him after colonial-era plantation owners and/or revolutionary war figures.
Those are stupid names for paint.
The guy has no case. That is not discrimination.
Here’s what we need. A government agency to subpoena the names of paints from all paint companies, and classify the names by race, ethnicity, religion, sex, etc. If the numbers don’t match exactly the current makeup of the population, the company is fined 20 billion and has to apologize.
Makes as much sense as affirmative action.
Hard to finish my coloring books since Crayola discontinued “Flesh.”
Uh, he wasn't aware of this when he was marketing it?
I'd be willing to bet that the name was given to the colors as some kind of internal recognition of his work or something, especially as it sounds like he was involved in it. Hell, maybe he picked the name himself!
This sounds really weird.

The Williamsburg collection also has colors named tucker orange and tucker gray.
Tucker then learned of the existing color "Clinton Brown," which a co-worker pointed out to him as a joke.
Clinton Tucker worked for the company's website in New Jersey starting in 2011
Millennials think 3 years with a company is practically forever.
