Puzzle Twelve: Cautionary Tale (meta)

Today's puzzle arrives late due to my accidentally saving an older version over a newer version. Computers!

The answer to this week's meta is a color. 

Please note that the cluing of 8-Down, 57-Down, and related entries is not a hint to the meta, just me trying to be entertaining. 

Submit your answer by clicking HERE. 

Submissions are due by Monday, December 14, 2020 at 12:00 PM EST. 

If you have any issues submitting your answer, just put it in an email to lexicondevillive at outlook dot com with your name, preferred screen name / ID and email address and I'll add you in manually. 

Two winners – the first person to submit a correct answer and another person selected at random from the correct entries – will receive a Lexicon Devil sticker as well as the respect of their puzzling peers.
