Relating to or resembling a dove, especially in color (a soft grayish-brown), or relating to the dove family.
From Latin 'colombinus,' derived from 'columba' (dove). The word entered English in the Middle Ages when it was used to describe soft, dove-colored fabrics and later bird classifications.
Colombin colors were super popular in medieval and Renaissance fashion—soft dove grays and browns were considered elegant and sophisticated, totally different from the bright dyes that showed off your wealth.
