In a drab manner; in a way that is dull, dingy, or lacking in brightness or interest.
From 'drab' (adjective) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly', creating the adverb form.
Drably is favored by literary writers describing bleak scenes—there's something about the 'd' and 'l' sounds that makes it sound gray and flat, matching its meaning perfectly.
