This color is a representation of the color of the interior flesh of a cantaloupe, the most commonly consumed melon.
The first recorded use of melon as a color name in English was in 1892.
In 1958, “melon” was formulated as one of the Crayola colors.

The melon color comes in so many wonderful shades. I went to “related posts”– I enjoyed the gerber daisies, too. Is it easy to set up “related posts” on your blog? It certainly has added to my enjoyment this morning.
