How a screen makes beige 4

  • Beige is white with the blue turned down Full white is red, green and blue at 255. Beige holds red and green level at 245 and lowers blue to 220. With red and green equal and blue the lowest, its hue is 60 degrees, the hue of pure yellow, in a very pale form.
  • One yellow beige and seven that lean orange Beige sits at hue 60. The other seven hold more red than green, which puts them between 33 and 39 degrees, in the orange range: bisque at 33, blanched almond and navajo white at 36, wheat at 39.
  • Nearly as much light as a white screen Beige gives about 90 percent of the light of full white and wheat, the dimmest shade here, about 75 percent. The green sub-pixels carry most of a screen's brightness, and every shade on this page keeps green at 222 or more.
  • Beige beside a white window Open the white screen in a second window next to this one. Beige differs from white by 10 levels of red and green and 35 of blue, and should read as pale cream. If you cannot tell the two apart, the screen may be showing its brightest levels as one.

Beige and its names 3

  • A word for undyed wool Beige is a French word. It first meant natural wool that had been neither bleached nor dyed, and then the colour of that wool. As a colour name in English it has been recorded since 1887.
  • One word for many pale warm tints Beige is used for a whole range of light tints with a neutral or pale warm look, described as anything from a pale sandy fawn to a greyish yellow. That is why eight shades share this page and no two of them match.
  • Tan, khaki and peach puff are on other pages Tan and burlywood are darker and sit with the browns on the brown screen. Khaki is on the yellow screen and peach puff on the orange screen. For a warm white paler than beige, the white screen has a slider from candle glow to cool white.

As a warm light or a plain ground 3

  • A warm fill light for a photo or a call Put the screen to one side of the subject. Beige and papaya whip give close to nine tenths of white's light with a faint warm tint. Dimmer darkens the colour itself, down to 10 percent; the device's own brightness is a separate control.
  • A plain beige ground behind a small object Stand a tablet upright behind a small object, or lay it flat underneath. The lit screen is one even colour with no creases, and it covers only what fits in front of it. Wheat and navajo white are the two darkest beiges here.
  • A beige background for a slide or a stream Record or capture this window for a flat beige scene: once the controls fade, the field is one colour with no text from this page. Copy hex copies the code on show, ready to paste as a background colour in a slide or an editing program.

How this list was compiled: Shades and notes chosen and written for this page. Every hex value is a CSS named colour, taken from the table of named colours at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Values/named-color, read 2026-10-06; the hue of each shade and the gaps between its red, green and blue levels are worked out from the hex. The share of light printed for each shade is its relative luminance (0.2126 R + 0.7152 G + 0.0722 B on linear values, pure white as 100), worked out from the formulas at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB, read 2026-10-06. That beige is a French word that first meant natural wool neither bleached nor dyed, that it is used for a variety of light tints chosen for a neutral or pale warm look, that it is described as anything from a pale sandy fawn to a pale or greyish yellow, and that it was first recorded as a colour name in English in 1887, is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beige. That wheat is named for the light yellow of the grain and was first recorded as a colour name in English in 1711 is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_(color). That navajo white is an orangish colour and not a shade of white is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_white. All three read 2026-10-06.
