Hello Glen, I'm in the camp of burned flesh - my first reaction to it was very negative - I'm sure the title had something to do with it. However, the color used does have some impact. While I agree that there are all colors of stone in the world, some will be more aesthetically pleasing to individuals than others. The fact that there have been a large percentage of people react in a similar manner should tell you something. That doesn't mean you should change it, but it does tell you that a good portion are going to react negatively.
