Isabelline

Isabelline, often referred to as isabella, is a subtle and muted hue that can be described as a pale grey-yellow, pale fawn, pale cream-brown, or parchment color.

It's a soft and neutral shade that carries the warmth of beige with the understated elegance of light grey.

This color is commonly associated with natural elements, found in the coat coloring of animals, particularly birds' plumage and, in Europe, horses.

Historically, it has also been applied to fashion, providing a delicate and sophisticated palette that complements a wide range of designs.

The HEX code for Isabelline is #F4F0EC, which in RGB values translates to a composition of 95.69% red, 94.12% green, and 92.55% blue.

In the CMYK color space, Isabelline is made up of 0% cyan, 2% magenta, 3% yellow, and 4% black.

The name 'Isabelline' itself has an interesting history, with its first recorded use dating back to the year 1600.

It was used to describe an item in Queen Elizabeth I of England's wardrobe inventory.

The term 'isabella' was later used interchangeably with 'isabelline' after the latter was introduced into print in 1859.

Despite various legends surrounding its origin, the true source of the name remains uncertain.
