Fallow
color code: #FFFFCC
Falb is the typical name for the color of a pale yellow to light gray- brown fur. The use is particularly common for the coat color of cats , horses or dogs and wolves .
The restriction to coat colors is a narrowing of the term . Falb was a common color name until the end of the 19th century to express a color description from light to yellowish brownish gray. "Now there were some strange phenomena in which the fog became thinner and the mountain masses lying in the depths, illuminated [in the morning light], shimmered ghost-like and in the yellow color of the autumn vegetation." Or in Uhland's description of an autumn mood: "Gentle, sweet Spring songs? / Look around the pale trees! / Oh! They were lovely dreams. "
