Khaki is a color name that can refer to different shades of tan or brown, depending on the context and the language.

It was first used as a military uniform by British troops in India in the 19th century, and later became popular for civilian clothing as well.

In the hexadecimal color system, which is commonly used in web design and graphic art, khaki has the code #C3B091.

This means that it is composed of 76.47% red, 69.02% green and 56.86% blue.

Khaki has a hue angle of 37.2 degrees, a saturation of 29.4% and a lightness of 66.7%.

It is a slightly desaturated orange color, which means that it has some gray mixed in.

Khaki is a warm color, which means that it is closer to red than to blue on the color wheel.

It can be paired with other warm colors, such as red, orange, yellow or brown, or with cool colors, such as blue, green or purple, to create different color schemes.

Some examples of colors that go well with khaki are navy, olive, burgundy, turquoise, coral or lavender.

Khaki is a versatile color that can be used for different purposes and occasions.

It is often associated with military, safari or outdoor themes, as it provides camouflage in arid or desert environments.

This color can be worn in any season, but it is especially suitable for spring and autumn, when the weather is mild and the nature is changing.

Khaki can also be used as an accent color for interior design, as it creates a cozy and natural atmosphere.

It is a color that has a long history and a wide range of applications.

Some people may find khaki boring or dull, while others may find it elegant or adventurous.
