quaker colored
Drab or gray colors, or the dulling effects
produced by modifying brighter shades, sometimes
by the addition of black pigment. The term refers
to shades of book cloth sometimes used on
devotional books, and is presumably derived from
the predilection of members of the Society of
Friends for muted colors. (197 )
