mousey
Quiet and meek
Mousey is a variant spelling of mousy.
It describes someone or something resembling a mouse—quiet, timid, and unassertive: a mousey little man who never spoke up in meetings.
Hair that is mousey is a dull grayish-brown, the color of mouse fur.
The spelling with the e is less common but equally acceptable.
