I expect that most of the names suggested—Dunn, brown, tan, beige, sand, camel, blush—would work just fine in searching for items of this color. It clearly isn’t camel, and it isn’t khaki either, but the way search engines seem to work with color names is to connect them with a broader, more general term, and spit out everything of that color. If you find one that lets you use a specific color, please post about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2207387 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 01:43:07 +0000 Jaime 2207387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked and it is actually called dessert rose, although desert rose would make more sense. &lt;shrug&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2207220 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 12:08:05 +0000 nemosmom 2207220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like caramel!

It isn’t dark enough for tan in my view. Or maybe even for camel. I guess you could Google it backwards as it were- Google Image each colour name and see what they show? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2207008 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 16:57:20 +0000 Staysfit 2207008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either warm taupe or rose beige…… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206921 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:56:22 +0000 Kyle 2206921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cafe au lait?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206874 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 09:41:59 +0000 Star (Lise) 2206874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a long sleeve pullover in the warm taupe color that Cjh posted.&nbsp; I have been calling it dusky pink and mink.&nbsp; It is exactly warm taupe, now I know what to call it :)&nbsp; what a fabulous color, I love it.&nbsp; It does look very you Carla. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206845 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 04:13:38 +0000 Carla 2206845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ cjh - you’re good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206841 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 03:08:53 +0000 cjh 2206841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the color?&nbsp;<div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/PQ-16-1318TCX">https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/PQ-16-1318TCX</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Warm taupe.<br /><div><br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206783 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:29:00 +0000 Jaime 2206783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just thrifted a NWT top and it says it is Rose Beige.

A red isn't just a red. And burgundy, even harder. When you mix gray, white and whatnot else to make these yummy shades you have here it is almost impossible. I have no name for you. I see many different shades. But on the same spectrum. You will know these when you see them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206698 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 20:10:58 +0000 Sal 2206698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lean to camel. In my mind tan is warmer and beige is cooler. Fawn is another one - my Mum used to cal things fawn and this reminds me of her.</p> <p>It’s funny because I like tan, fawn and camel clothes but beige I find off putting as a name. Poor beige - it doesn’t deserve it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206694 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 19:46:44 +0000 Anonymous 2206694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“Visual umami” - what a great descriptor”! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206688 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 19:19:59 +0000 rebekahphoto 2206688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>words that come to mind:&nbsp;</p> <p>Fawn<br />sandy<br />buff&nbsp;<br />sandstone&nbsp;<br />dune</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206663 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 17:53:22 +0000 Carla 2206663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Lisap - warm, but I see what you mean by mushroom. &nbsp;There is a ‘dirty ness’ just like what I like in my version of lilac. &nbsp;Kind of like visual umami?! &nbsp;LOL!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206658 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 17:45:38 +0000 anchie 2206658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe sand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rose-by-any-other-name%e2%80%a6#post-2206657 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 17:42:05 +0000 Anonymous 2206657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost get a mushroom vibe here - although mushroom is typically a cool colour .
