What does GREIGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Unbleached or undyed woven cloth still in its raw, natural state, or the pale grey-beige color often associated with such fabric.
Textile manufacturers use greige for fabric straight off the loom, before it has been bleached, dyed, or otherwise finished, so the word describes a stage of production rather than a single fixed color. Because untreated cotton or wool cloth tends to look a muted grey-brown, greige also came to name that particular grey-beige shade itself, now popular in interior design and fashion for its neutral, understated look. The word blends grey and beige, reflecting exactly the tone it describes, and is sometimes written gray-beige in less specialized writing. Designers may specify a greige paint or fabric when they want a color that reads as neither clearly grey nor clearly beige.
