The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

PensMrs Osok is a primary school teacher (admittedly in Wales, which may have fewer silly policies) and goes through the world's supply of red biros every term.
I suspect her response to being told that they were not allowed would involve the use of naughty language and ludicrously threatening behaviour towards whatever dickhead came up with it.
It's red so you can see it more easily FFS.
