re: #56 CuriousLurker

Well, they’ve only been doing it since 2000, but it’s a pretty big deal for all kinds of designers (fashion, interior, graphic, etc.)—big enough to get mentioned in the New York Times. The closest they’ve ever come to Khaki was in 2006 with a color dubbed Sand Dollar, which looks more pinkish-beige to my eye.

>Trivia: Did you know that khaki is actually a Persian word? It means dirt, soil, earth, ground, etc. which is exactly what it looks like (depending on where you live, I suppose). Here it is in Google Translate.

I knew that khaki was Persian, but didn’t know that was what it meant. wasn’t it brought into the english language by the English military when they were stationed and empire building there?

I am NOT a designer / graphics person, (putting it mildly). One friend of mine commented that “You’re the only person in the world I know of that thinks having 4 dark blue polo shirts is that same as having 4 different shirts”.

I do have to admit that one of my ex’s did get me into wearing colors that I wouldn’t have bought for myself, and I can rock some eggplant or pink shirts.

Thanks :)
