sepias
Old photograph hues
Sepias is the plural of sepia, a reddish-brown color associated with old photographs and antique prints.
The tint comes from ink produced by cuttlefish, once used in photography and art.
Sepias often refers to photographs processed in or toned to this color: The wall displayed sepias of her great-grandparents.
