Khaki (#C3B091) is a mid-tone warm shade that appears across 19 master palettes in our corpus, most prominently in the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Beatrix Potter, and Ludwig Knaus and the Arts and Crafts tradition. Master painters paired it most often with Raisin black (#242124), Bole (#79443B), and Silver sand (#BFC1C2). The combination forms a sun-bleached, daylight chord, built on closely related hues, pairs with restrained, near-neutral companions that let the source carry the chord, with a moderate step down in value that keeps the source forward.
