Khaki Colors
Canvas jackets and faded field cloth explain Khaki better than a paint chip. It is a dusty yellow beige family with gray or olive notes, often found in hallways, mudrooms, upholstery, and utility spaces.

Using khaki in your home
Khaki handles traffic areas well because it connects to stone, sisal, and weathered wood. Use it in entries, dens, laundry rooms, or bedrooms with warm white trim, charcoal, muted green, navy, or black metal. North light cools the gray side of Dune and Ancient Star. South light can make Prairie look more golden. The warning is dinginess: khaki beside a very clean white can look tired unless the room has texture.
