Drab (color)

Drab is a dull, light-brown color.[1] It originally took its name from a fabric of the same color made of undyed, homespun wool. The word was first used in English in the mid-16th century. It probably originated from the Old French word drap, which meant cloth.[1] The word gradually came to mean dull, lifeless, or monotonous.

Drab is a dull light-brown color, the color of undyed wool cloth of the same name.
