  The measurement of the inelastic photoproduction of charmonium at HERA seems
to have ignited a new charmonium crisis. The (already discredited) color
singlet model fits the data for large charmonium energy fraction z, where the
NRQCD model qualitatively fails. We here point out that by the straightforward
inclusion of color singlet and octet processes in the soft color (color
evaporation) scheme, the HERA data can be accommodated for all z. We anticipate
that the color singlet model will fail at low z, as it does in hadroproduction.
