Use pretty-color.

'color' does not have the same triggering connotations as 'colored'
in the context of US politics.

Forgive us; we still haven't quite recovered from the national wounds
that culminated in the US civil war.  It has been 150 years since the
end of slavery, but families still bear the scars, people still lash
out, and people still hurt.  My own family split in that generation,
brother against brother, and the resulting estranged branches took over
100 years to forgive one another. And remembering that in the context
of Juneteenth, I felt compelled to speak in defense of our irrational
response to a perfectly innocent word and try to put it in context.

Silly as it may seem to others, 'colored' is a word attached to a lot
of grief and pain here.  'Color' is not.  I know that's not entirely
rational, but the grief and pain it's attached to is real.

FWIW, happy Juneteenth everybody.  It's a holiday that commemorates
the end of slavery in the US.  I wish it commemorated the end of
slavery everywhere but alas, it does not.  The Global Slavery index
estimates that 46 million people live in slavery today.  And in fifteen
countries the practice is still legal.
