beige

Pale sand tone

Beige is a pale sandy color, somewhere between tan and cream—the color of undyed wool or natural linen.

The word often carries connotations of blandness or neutrality: beige walls won't offend anyone, and calling something beige can suggest it lacks personality or distinction.

The whole apartment was decorated in beige.
