Ecru
describes the shade grayish-pale yellow or a light
grayish-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
beige (a synonym or alias for beige), but now ecru and beige are
regarded as two different colors.
