Greige

/ɡreɪʒ/ noun

Definition

A textile color that is a neutral blend between gray and beige, or fabric in an unfinished state before bleaching and dyeing.

Etymology

From French 'gris' (gray) and 'beige' (beige), blended to create a portmanteau describing this intermediate color. Used in textile industries since the mid-20th century.

Kelly Says

Fashion designers call this the 'honest' color—greige reveals the true fiber underneath, before human chemistry transforms it, making it beloved by minimalists and textile purists who see beauty in raw material.
