"Natural" is the color created by reverse peristalsis after consuming massive quantities of many of the aforementioned things defined as "portage".

But that's what you get for letting an English major onto the list! But, carrying on in the spirit of Tyvek drysuits, I was going through the latest Sierra Trading Post catalog last night and noted that they are selling Polartec Stretch Fleece Socks, 100% percent polyester, in several colors including "natural". And, rather than asking them what color "natural" polyester is, I thought it would be more educational --- and possibly more amusing --- to ask PaddleWise!
