salt and pepper
Basic seasoning duo
Salt and pepper describes a mixture of dark and light, especially hair that combines black or brown with gray or white: His salt-and-pepper beard gave him a distinguished look.
The phrase captures the speckled appearance of the two seasonings mixed together.
As a color description, it suggests middle age or the early stages of graying.
