Is kakhi a color or type of pants 🤔

Is orange a color or a type of fruit?

@smiler2012 not really. An orange is orange, a lemon is yellow 💛

@GlitterEater It was the name of a fruit first. The color was just called reddish yellow until the fruit was introduced

@Straylight It's cool how color enters language and culture incrementally. I hope we start distinguishing cyan from blue and green next.

I always thought they were a type of pants. But khaki is a color.

I think anyway...

@AlchemyFox [[c=804600]c=BF0000]yes I think so too
And it's right
The police men here wear khaki uniforms and it's just the colour [/c][/c]

@Raaii cool 😂

I remember many years ago asking a shop for black khakis and they laughed at me.

Khaki is a color that comes from the British occupation of India. The issued uniform was too hot to wear in India so the Brits began wearing a lighter cotton uniform and colored it to blend in with the dirt. It was called Khaki. When I was in the Canadian Armed Forces I had two work uniforms. Blue and Khaki. Khaki was summer dress while the blue was winter dress.

Both.
Initially it was a color but, when they started to use that color for uniforms, the pants,were referred to as khakis.
Neither, it goes in the ignition so you can drive off

I've always known it as color, never heard the word used for a type of pants. What kind of type it should be?

Color, which they now use to identify as a pants style too
