dark wash
Deep blue jeans
Dark wash describes denim dyed to a deep indigo or near-black shade, retaining most of its original color without the fading of lighter washes.
Dark wash jeans read as dressier than their faded counterparts: Dark wash is acceptable for business casual.
The term distinguishes from light wash, medium wash, and acid wash.
