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? :neutral:) so I was wondering if anyone would know what color is vanilla bean.

Thank you very mucho. :D

vanilla bean color for clothes.....what color would that be? if it's brown, why not show brown? anyways, other than dark brown, anyone else has other insights?

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. :neutral:

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. :p: Told me about it so I did the same. Some pix I see pinkish, some I see ivory and one I see taupe. :neutral: I think I just may have to order the pants home to know its exact color. :rolleyes:

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.

Better stores will mail you a swatch

Call and tell them that if the pants come in an ivory with yellow undertone color, you'll order a pair.
Shawnee123 • Feb 21, 2011 12:29 pm
We should not only protest the strange names for colors, we should NEVER ever order pants from a place that calls them "a pant."

"This lovely tweed pant goes from casual to dressy with just a few additions..."

Pant + pretentious = pantentious!

THIS is a pant:

(and cute)
Sundae • Feb 21, 2011 1:27 pm
And I will refuse to buy from a shop that calls trousers "pants".
No. Pants (in the country) and knickers, briefs, smalls, lingerie.

If I walk out of my house in just my pants you'll know about it.

Trousers always just makes me think of "trouser snake." :eek:

What is trousing? What is someone looking for when they trouse?

"Where are you going, honey?"

"Oh, thought I'd do a little shopping, some banking, maybe some trousing."

"Well, you better wear your trousers, just in case."

And, like pant, should it be trouser or trousers?

:p:
Sundae • Feb 21, 2011 1:50 pm
Trousers. Like pants and scissors, they come in pairs.
Shawnee123 • Feb 21, 2011 2:37 pm
But what is trouse?

I googled it and got this:

World English Dictionary
trouse (traʊz)

— pl n
( Brit ) close-fitting breeches worn in Ireland

[from Irish and Scot Gaelic triubhas : compare trews ]


Now we're throwing BREECHES into the pile? Oy.

I've heard of them there britches, though.

In the south, they call all pants "Coke."
Sundae • Feb 21, 2011 2:39 pm
Breeches?
We close up those with our English dead.

Not to be confused with dykes, which are satisfied by a finger.

My friend's a Web trouser.

He goes on porn sites and pants.
Shawnee123 • Feb 21, 2011 2:51 pm
You mean your friend zippy?

:lol:
Sundae • Feb 21, 2011 2:52 pm
Buttons are better.
I try to rub mine occasionally to remind me.

Yeah, the addition of another pant would give you a pair of pants which, when worn, would constitute being dressed, hence dressy.
half dressed = casual.

I have a friend who works for a big clothing catalog house, he 'splained me.
Shawnee123 • Feb 21, 2011 4:48 pm
I guess if you work at IHOP you would only need the pant.
Sundae • Feb 21, 2011 5:01 pm
And at Hooters you'd would only get the pant.
footfootfoot • Feb 21, 2011 6:46 pm
and many panters...

Panting punters?

Back onto topic... I painted my living room vanilla bean and it came out butter yellow. Just so you know. I thought it would be more of a beige or tan.

Careful, it's on a short step from a panting punter to flaps in your lap.

What use is knowing what color Vanilla's been, anyhoo? What we care about is what color it is now, surely?
footfootfoot • Feb 26, 2011 10:31 pm
Right. Don't put it in your mouth, who knows where that vanilla's been?
