Bej

Bej is a term primarily seen in Turkish as the name for the color beige. In Turkish, bej denotes a pale brownish color with gray or yellow undertones and is used widely in fashion, interior design, textiles, and branding. The word functions as both a noun referring to the color and an adjective when describing colors, e.g., bej renk (beige color) or bej ton (beige tone). It is part of a broader set of Turkish color terms that translate common color names from Western palettes into Turkish usage.

Beyond Turkish, bej has no single, widely recognized meaning. It may appear in cross-linguistic texts as a transliteration of the color word beige or as part of proper names in rare cases, but such instances are incidental and not standardized.

References to bej mainly center on its role in describing the color in Turkish-language media, design industry catalogs, and consumer product descriptions. See also beige; color terminology in Turkish.
