vanilla bean

What color is vanilla bean? Thinking of buying this pair of pants online and the color says vanilla bean. Clicking over the name of the color, I see light pink on the screen. But I've been mistaken before (remember dove? ) so I was wondering if anyone would know what color is vanilla bean.

Thank you very mucho.

That is a dumb color name. Could be they mean kind of off-white? or more of a French Vanilla, maybe? But certainly not pink.

Might be worth a call to customer service.

edit: by Googling I found a paint color called vanilla bean that also looked a bit pinkish, but I suspect that it's really more taupe-y.

Googling for "Vanilla Bean Pants" found me this really yummy looking recipe ...

haha...you're right. I'm gonna have to call the customer service. Btw, I agree with you, it's a stupid name for a color.

Just called the customer service and the sales rep told me it's ivory with yellow undertone. Basically, she did a search in the their site with that color and guessed the color for me. Told me about it so I did the same. Some pix I see pinkish, some I see ivory and one I see taupe. I think I just may have to order the pants home to know its exact color.

Btw, that sauce looks absolutely delish!!

It may refer to an HTML color: vanilla bean.

Don't buy from them Tulip.
It will encourage their silly colour names.
I'm tempted to complain to customer services just on principle.

But I love Victoria's Secret. Hmm...maybe I should call just to complain about their color names.

Call and tell them that if the pants come in an ivory with yellow undertone color, you'll order a pair.
