Can you read? Japanese traditional color "Shishiiro"?

Shishi-iro, also known as ``kukuro'' or ``hitiro,'' is an ancient word used to refer to the meat of edible animals. It is derived from animal meat such as Kanoshishi (venison), Inoshishi (boar meat), and Kushishi (whale meat). With the spread of Buddhism and the prohibition of eating meat, the name shishiro was changed to skin color. It is a pale yellow-red color with a light yellowish tinge, and is characterized by a gentle color similar to human skin tone.

Shishiiro = Shishiro

Flesh in English. The color's name has changed over time, from shishish to skin tone, and in modern times to ``light blue''. That is "Shishiro". It's pronounced Shishiro.
