And gray is a color in its own right whereas caramel is usually used to describe a type of brown. So back to square one: I would say this thread is aptly titled. https://forum.makeuptalk.com/images/smilies/smile.gif And if we want to get more technical, these women would be caramel because of a lack of of the color Black. Honestly, I'm surprised by what you're saying because many Black people don't like to be called Black because their skin is brown...
ETA: "many Black people" <- I mean I've heard that used as an argument against being called Black instead of AA.
