20. Ecru Color 322 - #C2B280

Ecru describes the shade greyish-pale yellow or a light greyish-yellowish brown. It is often used to describe such fabrics as silk and linen in their unbleached state. Ecru comes from the French word écru, which means literally 'raw' or 'unbleached'. In the 1930s and before, ecru was considered to be the same color as the color beige (a synonym or alias for beige), but since the 1950s ecru and beige have been regarded as two different colors.
