strawcolored

Strawcolored or straw-colored is a descriptive term for a pale yellow color reminiscent of straw. The shade is typically a light, warm yellow with possible brownish or grayish undertones, and the precise hue varies by material, lighting, and context.

The name comes from straw, the dried stalks of cereal plants, whose light yellow-tan color has long served as a natural reference point in color naming.

Applications: In fashion, textiles, and interior design, straw-colored tones are used as neutrals or warm accents in palettes. In hair color discussions, the term may describe light blonde shades with pale, creamy warmth. In biology and medicine, 'straw-colored' is sometimes used to characterize pale yellow specimens, such as urine, or various animal coats that resemble straw.

Notes: Like many color descriptors, straw-colored is not standardized and can vary between industries, brands, and individual observers. It is often included in broader color families such as pale yellow, beige, and straw.
