Everything about the color Beige
The meaning of the color Beige and color combinations to inspire your next design.
Beige is a light, sandy fawn color like a pale, grayish yellow and can also be used to describe pale and light brown shades. Its hex code is #F5F5DC. Beige takes its name from the French word for natural wool, which has been neither bleached nor dyed. And it now lends itself as a metaphor to describe something–or someone–bland, boring, or conventional (much like vanilla).
Beige has the warmth of brown and the light crispness of white. While considered somewhat a boring color, it is also calm, relaxing, and dependable.
Beige works beautifully with earthy tones, such as moss green and rust orange. It also sets off with reddish-brown colors such as marsala, cranberry, and maroon.
