Khaki, is the colour of the soldiers uniforms surely, are you young enough to remember 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum'?

There's khaki and then there's olive drab - which is which? (I think khaki is browner?)

missdilema · 12/11/2002 21:23

So it's a dirty green euew.I was hoping it was more of a brown.

duck poo? (ok so I'm bored...it's a lovely green/copper mix)

like the strip on the mumsnet logo, only darker!

SoupDragon · 13/11/2002 08:34

Khaki can also be this sort of colour.

That's American khaki, thanks, Soupdragon, now I know where I got olive drab from - what we call khaki they call olive drab. Their khaki is browny beige (taupe?). missdilemma, are you looking at an English thing or an American one?

missdilema · 13/11/2002 13:28

Hi Janh,it's a British site but it's spelt kaki.Are we saying then that it's more greeny or browny I've got a bit confused along the way,sorry.Thanks everyone and Soupdragon for the link.

English is greeny - as Jasper said, like the mumsnet banner at the top only darker.

Is that bad news?

missdilema · 13/11/2002 21:39

Janh,this is what I want to order these They look brown but they say kaki?I like them if they're brown but not if they're dirty green.

Those are brown all right, missdilema! I think if you want brown you should be OK with those!

I had a look at some of the others and they also have a colour called olive green - which looks like English khaki - and some of the boots are French, so maybe kaki is the French spelling of the American colour (ie brown in case I lost you on the way!)
