First, Ghostofmacbeth, I do want to thank you since it is rare to see any interest in the question of politeness and ethnicity in the Renderosity community. I use the term "black" for myself but I can understand if you wish to use a term that is more regionally or ethnically descriptive. My own feeling is that it is more polite to avoid names that objectify i.e... "Chocolate Bar for Michael" or names that display an ignorance of history i.e... "Sambo for Michael" but there is nothing wrong with "Shades of Blackness for V3" or "Caramel to Chocolate tones for V3. As for complaints about your choice of names, as long as you remain as sensitive and polite as you seem, I think the name that you choose will be fine. I must add the proviso that you should think about the audience you are selling to and avoid familarity or the urge to ignore your customer.
