/KU-lay GA-ring/
FIL: Isang uri ng kulay na mapusyaw na puti na may bahid ng dilaw, katulad ng kulay ng garing o pangil ng elepante.
EN: ivory-colored; off-white
This is the color of your tita's elegant furniture, the fancy wedding invitation you just received, or the classic Barong Tagalog. It's not quite white, not quite beige. It's the "old money" of colors – subtle, classic, and screams sophistication without being loud. It's the color you choose when you want to look clean but not as basic as pure white.
From 'kulay' (color) + 'garing' (ivory).
ROOT MEANING: color
A compound adjective.
