About this color

Cotton Seed — Cotton Seed is inspired by the plant’s seed pods, which fluff out dramatically when the harvest season draws near. It belongs to the tan or brownish-beige color family, as it is a warm, desaturated shade with a reddish-yellow tint. This color's high lightness and low saturation give it an ashy or dusty appearance, evoking a sense of subtle elegance, optimism, and independence.
