Utility jacket in...can't find the right word for the colour

Hi all
As you have such good eyes, so to speak...

Looking for a utility type jacket, like the type you normally get in khaki, in that colour that's like a cross between grey and pink, but not too light. Hopefully that makes sense to someone.....I have seen grey, pink and beige, but not that sort of combo which I'm struggling to name!

Budget £50 max. Thank you!

Taupe
Greige
Natural

@Hairybaker

Taupe Greige Natural
I guess that in a warm dark tone? There's a lot of that around in very light beige.

Thank you
I googled brown and one thing that came up was this (from Damart, which I see as mum's place to shop)...labelled brown but is pink IMHO?

The colour I'm thinking of is like the brown and grey linked but with a hint of pink.

Stone generally comes up too light and no hint of any other colour, more like a heavy ivory or light grey.

"Dusty pink" might get you more of the shade you're looking for

BattledoreAndShuttlecock · 20/03/2022 15:19

Aka "Dusky pink" - probably best to look for both

BattledoreAndShuttlecock · 20/03/2022 15:21

Aka "ashes of roses" but that's more of a paint description than something you'd see used on ASOS.

EmmaH2022 · 20/03/2022 15:30

Dusky pink brings up pink

Ashes of roses reminds me of the Thorn Birds!

I guess it's one of those things I have to hope I encounter rather than look for it. Thanks all.

Mink?

AllTheGoodOnesAreTaken · 20/03/2022 15:41

Mauve?

TinaYouFatLard · 20/03/2022 15:43

I would say that colour is mink.

Rose taupe?

EmmaH2022 · 20/03/2022 22:10

@WrinklesShminkles

Rose taupe?
Spot on! Thank you. Now I just hope I find the item. I remember it being popular when utility jackets and cargo pants were a thing first time round!

They used to call it tea rose

DedalusBloom · 21/03/2022 09:02

I call it French pink
