Greige????

When did we combine the color grey and beige together.....come on, can't something be either light grey or light beige? It is bad enough all the catch phrases, ie....fierce, awesome, stunning, etc, etc, etc.

They didn't just make that up. I know that word for the color has been around since I got interested in clothes as a teen in the 60s.

I like greige.

I wear greige nail polish in the fall/winter.

I want to say that Bobbie Brown came out with a greige eye shadow palette which looks so pretty

i've heard the word before, but not for a long time. Greige has been around for a long time.

It's a ligitimate color name. I think it explains the color perfectly. Why say a grayish beige when greige is quicker.

Not really. Greige has grey & beige undertones; taupe has pink & green undertones.

Having worked in the textile industry for over 40 years, griege referred to the fabric as it came off the looms before it was bleached, dyed and finished.

I'd never heard of the color griege until my brother painted the inside of his home in that color. He'd never heard of it before either. It looks different depending on the lighting. Not a color or shade I would use.
