Khaki

The color khaki comes from the
Persian word khak (through
Urdu), meaning dust, and khaki meaning dusty, dust covered or earth colored. It has been used by many armies around the world for
camouflage uniforms. Most notably, khaki was used by the
British Army in India in 1848. The original khaki fabric is a closely twilled cloth of
linen or
cotton.
