Ok, Candy, find us this color.
It sounds very close to Khaki.

Just Google nankeen colour/ images and you'll find a variety of nankeen colours as there are different shades.

I guess we have this topic on two different threads.
OK, I googled and see the colors, many very close to Khaki.

Yes...you set me an impossible task Luke.

I found so many variants of this colour......ranging from a very pale yellow to the colour of English mustard, then with a greenish undertone or with a ginger or turmeric haze.

Have you noticed we all see colour differently....

My father was almost color-blind,
saw most things in black and white.
Watching B/W TV as a kid, I now find
it somewhat difficult to go back
and watch older shows that are not colored.
But I find "colorized" old movies terrible,
and they look "fake" to me.

It must be awful to be colour blind.

the other word this week....sinopia makes me think of sepia(dark brown or grey colour) as used in Photoshop programmes or like ...to 'age' black and white photos.
