Drab (color)

Drab is a dull, light-brown color. 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 1686. It probably originated from the Old French word drap, which meant cloth. In 1897 the Sears catalog listed household paint colors including drab, light drab, Quaker drab, and olive drab.
