It has come to be used to describe a variety of light tints chosen for their neutral or pale warm appearance. Beige began to commonly be used as a term for a color in France beginning approximately 1855–60; the writer Edmond de Goncourt used it in the novel La Fille Elisacode: fra promoted to code: fr in 1877.
