Khaki 卡其色
Khaki (UK /ˈkɑːkiː/, Canada and US /ˈkækiː/) is a color, a light shade of yellow-brown. Khaki is a loanword incorporated from Hindustani (Urdu) ख़ाकी/خاکی (meaning "soil-colored") and is originally derived from the Persian: خاک[xɒːk] (Khâk, literally meaning "soil"), which came to English from British India via the British Indian Army.
