grødtonet
Grødtonet is a Swedish adjective that translates to "porridge-colored" or "gruel-colored." It describes a color that is typically a dull, muted, and often yellowish or grayish brown. This color is reminiscent of the appearance of traditional porridges made from grains like oats, barley, or rye, especially when they have been cooked for a long time or have a somewhat watery consistency. The term is often used in a descriptive or somewhat pejorative way to denote a lack of vibrancy or a dull, unappealing hue.
The color itself can vary, but it generally falls within a spectrum of light to medium browns
