Khaki
#bc892b
The word khaki comes from the Hindi-Urdu for dust, but this swatch is warmer than modern military khaki: a golden tan with an amber lean, nearer to toffee or honeyed wood. Grayish Lavender - A and Salvia Blue both cool it, producing soft, complementary pairings; Deep Grayish Olive keeps it earthy and utilitarian; Apricot Yellow pushes it toward brightness. At 3.1:1 against white it just meets the threshold for large text, while black on it reaches 6.8:1. It fits canvas bags, wood-toned interiors, and labels for outdoor gear.
