The new 'nude'



What is the new 'nude'? What is it called? What does it look like? It's been a fascination of mine for the past two weeks. As the runway's appetite grows for this new colour so does my quest to find the perfect name.


It's not beige .... According to Wikipedia 'beige' is a very pale yellowish-cream colour.


It's not ecru, french beige, mode beige or cosmic latte. It's not camel or donkey.


It might be Desert Sand.... To Crayola, Desert Sand is a deep shade of beige with a pink base.


My favourite is 'Chinchilly'... Essie, the UK nail varnish queen who coined the term, says Chinchilly is a cool beige shade inspired by a chinchilla's coat.
So that leaves me still pondering what to call this new 'nude'. And wanting a chinchilla....
