If you were born before the 1990s, chances are high that you have encountered tan M&Ms. However, in 1995, the Mars candy company decided that having two shades of brown M&Ms was unnecessary. The company held a contest and invited M&Ms lovers to call 1-800-FUN-COLOR to vote for their favorite replacement color: blue, pink, or purple. After 10 million votes were cast, the color blue was chosen to replace the tan M&M. Since then, a regular pack of M&M's has contained a total of six colors: brown, yellow, green, red, orange, and blue.
