Annals of poor marketing decisions: "Manatee Grey"
Even the most successful businesses can learn new lessons. For example, mega-retailer Target just learned not to describe a color choice for a baggy women's dress as "Manatee Grey."
I would call it "Elephant Gray."

If they were looking to capture the essence of the bagginess of their dress offering, they could have called it Shar Pei Grey....
