Target has found itself in a wee bit of trouble this week when a savvy customer stumbled across an odd discrepancy: a gray plus-size dress was listed as "Manatee Gray" while the same dress in regular sizes was called "Dark Heather Gray."

Whoops.

The ill-advised color name was spotted by Susan Clemens, who tweeted at Target:

What the. Plus sized women get "Manatee Grey" while standard sizes are "Dark Heather Grey." @Target #notbuyingit pic.twitter.com/nzHNYoytnp — suZen ￰ﾟﾌﾊ￰ﾟﾎﾨ￰ﾟﾓﾷ✏￯ﾸﾏ￰ﾟﾒﾭ￰ﾟﾦﾅ (@suZen) April 3, 2013

To their credit, Target responded promptly and apologetically:

@suZen Hey Susan - I'm sharing your comments with the appropriate team and they will review your them as soon as possible. Thanks! -Bryan — AskTarget (@AskTarget) April 3, 2013

@suZen We apologize for this unintentional oversight & never intend to offend our guests. We've heard you, and we're working to fix it ASAP. — Target (@Target) April 3, 2013

The "Manatee Grey" version of the Mossimo Women's Plus-Size Kimono Maxi Dress does not currently appear on Target.com.

Forbes got an even clearer response from Target plus an explanation. According to Target spokesman Joshua Thomas, “Manatee Gray" is a standard color name used across Target products, plus-size and otherwise. Unfortunately there were two teams of buyers responsible for the two dresses, meaning they each chose different color names without consulting with one another.

Target managed a slightly more graceful response than Urban Outfitters, which also ran into trouble when naming the color of a garment. Back in 2010, Urban Outfitters sold a t-shirt labeled "Obama/Black." After inviting the ire of customers, the store quickly pulled the offending item and told the press, "We screwed up, and are sincerely sorry."
