khaki
Military trouser shade
Khaki is a dull yellowish-brown color, like dusty earth.
The word names both the color and fabric dyed that shade, originally for military uniforms in colonial India.
Khakis are casual cotton trousers in this color: He wore khakis and a polo shirt.
Khaki suggests practicality over style—workwear, uniforms, weekend clothes.
