- sandebert 7y agoReally? For me it's more beige, and I'm swedish.
- mstade 7y agoI'm Swedish too, and grew up with the same understanding as the parent poster. Only in recent years have I understood that khaki can refer to both a military type green or sand like beige color.
- sandebert 7y agoI asked my wife, who knows nothing about this thread, how she would describe khaki. "Oh, beige-green, sort of." :-)
- mongol 7y agoAccording to NE thesaurus: "ljus, gul-brun-grå färg som påminner om (väg)damm el. sand: kakifärgad HIST.: sedan 1904"
- gerikson 7y agoSwede here. I asked my wife too, her reply is that the color "khaki" is a shade of green - "khakigrönt". But the specific style of pants - "khakibyxor" - are generally beige.
