Color of tan commonly found in arid-region military uniforms
This article is about khaki as a color. For other uses, see Khaki (disambiguation).
Khaki is a common color in military uniforms and equipment, particularly those intended for use in desert or arid regions, as seen on these German and Senegalese officers.
The color khaki (UK: /ˈkɑːki/, US: /ˈkæki/) is a light shade of tan with a slight yellowish tinge.
Khaki has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms and equipment, particularly in arid or desert regions, where it provides camouflage relative to sandy or dusty terrain. It has been used as a color name in English since 1848 when it was introduced as a military uniform.[1] In Western fashion, it is a standard color for smart casual dress trousers for civilians, which are also often called khakis.
In British English and some other Commonwealth usage, khaki may also refer to a shade of green known as olive drab.[2][3][4]
