Beige is the French word for the color of naturalwool (freshly shorn example at theRoyal Winter Fair).

Beige is variously described as a pale sandy fawncolor,[1] a grayish tan,[2] a light-grayish yellowish brown, or a pale to grayish yellow.[3] It takes its name fromFrench, where the word originally meant naturalwool that has been neither bleached nor dyed, hence also the color of natural wool.[4][5]

The word "beige" has come to be used to describe a variety of lighttints chosen for their neutral or pale warm appearance.

Beige began to commonly be used as a term for a color in France beginning approximately 1855–60; the writerEdmond de Goncourt used it in the novelLa Fille Elisa in 1877. The first recorded use ofbeige as a color name inEnglish was in 1887.[6]

Beige is notoriously difficult to produce in traditional offsetCMYK printing because of the low levels of inks used on each plate; often it will print in purple or green and vary within a print run.[citation needed]

Beige is also a popular color in clothing, such as for men'strousers, as well as forinterior design.

Ecru

[edit]
Main article:Ecru

Originally in the 19th century and up to at least 1930, the color ecru meant exactly the same color as beige (i.e. the pale cream color shown above as beige),[17] and the word is often used to refer to such fabrics as silk and linen in their unbleached state. Ecru comes from the French wordécru, which means literally "raw" or "unbleached".

Since at least the 1950s, however, the color ecru has been regarded as a different color from beige, presumably in order to allowinterior designers a wider palette of colors to choose from.[18]
