Sepia的本意指墨鱼,这种生物和乌贼、章鱼属于同类,受到惊吓时,会释放出一种污黑的分泌物。19世纪时,水彩画家们开始用墨鱼的分泌物制作色彩浓厚的棕色颜料,称之为sepia。对这种颜色最普遍的描述是介于棕灰色和深橄榄棕色之间的一种颜色。
3. Russet [ˈrʌsɪt]
红棕色
Being a reddish brown, russet is a popular fall color. Its name is a borrowing of an Anglo-French adjective, meaning "reddish" or "reddish-brown," that came to designate a coarse, homespun cloth used to make garments. English borrowed the French term for the cloth in the 13th century before using it in its color sense.
Russet指红棕色,是一种常见的秋天代表色。这个单词是诺曼时代英国所用法语中的一个形容词,原意为“略带红色的”或“略带红棕色的”,指代一种粗糙的土布衣料。13世纪时,人们将这个法语单词引入英语中,之后取其色彩含义使用。
Association of the word with rural living led to its use as an adjective meaning "rustic," "homely," and "simple."
因为russet和乡村生活有关,因此也可以做形容词表示“朴素的”、“家常的”、“简单的”意思。
4. Amber [ˈæmbəʳ]
琥珀色
Amber can describe the dark orange-yellow color of a floating leaf or a substance found floating in the sea. It is derived from Arabic, anbar, which refers to ambergris, a waxy secretion of the sperm whale that is used as a spice and in perfumery. In English, amber was originally used as the name for this substance, with the name ambergris developing later in French from ambre and gris ("gray") to differentiate it from the fossilized tree resin type of amber, which is also found around the shore (of the Baltic Sea, largely).
