Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Vanilla Color 984 - #F3E5AB
Vanilla is a flavoring derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla, primarily
from the Mexican species, flat-leaved vanilla (V. planifolia). The word
vanilla, derived from the diminutive of the Spanish word vaina (vaina itself
meaning sheath or pod), simply translates as little pod. Pre-Columbian
Mesoamerican peoples cultivated the vine of the vanilla orchid, called
tlilxochitl by the Aztecs, and Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés is credited
with introducing both vanilla and chocolate to Europe in the 1520s.
