Saw a couple of items on the Old Navy site, thought they were such a pretty color. They call it organdi-never heard of that. 

 

A quick Google search revealed a Chanel nail polish that is also called organdi. Does not look very similar to the ON items to my eye.

Beautiful color. I wouldn’t have guessed Old Navy for the pants.

We called it "shrimp."

Love both the nail color and the clothing color!  But neither look similar in tone or shade.  At any rate, the clothing color is a very difficult shade to find and it is a warm tone pink.  The only shade of pink that looks good on my light warm skin both in clothing and cosmetics and I'm a warm autumn in color analysis and made for us warm toned girls.

 

Thanks for sharing such lovely colors!

I think the color is very pretty and I especially love the style of the top!  Very nice.

Organdy (with a y) for me was always a light purple with a tinge of pink. In the lavender family.

I never though of organdy as a color, it is a very fine cotton, usually for little girl dresses.

The twist front T-shirt is cute but for the fact that it's slub

It's not a color.  It's a fabric..It's  is the sheerest and crispest cotton cloth made.

.Chanel calls that color nail polish Organdi.

 

So perhaps you are right and I was wrong but still to me it's a color as well as a fabric.Not because Chanel says so but because although I know it's also a fabric the first thing that pops into my mind hearing Organdy is the color.
