According to the 2010 official census, 43,13% of Brazilians identified themselves as pardo skin color. That option is normally marked by people that consider themselves multiracial ("mestiço"). The Mixed Race Day or Mestizo Day (Dia do Mestiço), on 27 June, is official event in States of Amazonas, Roraima e Paraíba and a holyday in two cities. The term "pardo" is formally used in the official census but is not used by the population. In Brazilian society, most people who are multiracial call themselves "moreno": light-"moreno" or dark-"moreno". Those terms are not considered offensive and focus more on skin color than on ethnicity (it is considered more like other human characteristics such as being short or tall).
