Buff (colour)

Buff is the pale yellow-brown colour of the un-dyed leather of several animals.
As an RYB quaternary colour, it is the darker colour produced by an equal mix of the tertiary colours citron and russet.〔William J. Miskella, 1928, ''Practical Color Simplified: A Handbook on Lacquering, Enameling, Coloring And Painting''; John Lemos, 1920, "Color Charts for the School Room", in ''School Arts'', vol. 19, pp 580–584〕
==Etymology==

The first recorded use of the word "buff" to describe a colour was in the London Gazette of 1686, describing a uniform to be "...a Red Coat with a Buff-colour'd lining". It referred to the colour of un-dyed buffalo leather, such as soldiers wore as some protection: an eye-witness to the death in the Battle of Edgehill (1642) of Sir Edmund Verney noted "he would neither put on armor or buff coat the day of the battle".〔Miriam Slater, ''Family Life in the Seventeenth Century: the Verneys of Claydon House''1984:11.〕 Such buff leather was suitable for ''buffing'' or serving as a ''buffer'' between polished objects. It is not clear which bovine "''buffalo''" referred to, but it may not have been any of the animals called "buffalo" today.
