Khaki is a color, a light shade of yellow-brown.
Khaki is a loanword incorporated from Hindustani meaning “soil-colored” and,
is originally derived from the Persian: Khâk, literally meaning “soil”.

Khaki has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms, including camouflage.
They are often referred to as KHAKIS.

The Khaki cloth now known all over the world was first manufactured in Mangalore.
Khaki-colour dye was patented in 1884.
Khakis became popular as US military wear during World War II,
replacing the coarse material used in fatigues in World War I.

Upon arising, I looked out the window and there were many birds in the cold leafless view.
I stepped out to the backyard and,
I turned my sketchbook…
This is …rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. ~ Kahlil Gibran
