Color whose name comes from the Greek word for "cuttlefish"

SEPIA

Think of the warm, earthy tone often seen in old photographs or squid ink.

The word "sepia" refers to a reddish-brown color, and its name traces back to the Greek word sēpia, meaning "cuttlefish." Cuttlefish release a dark ink that was historically used to create this warm, earthy pigment in art and photography. The clue plays on the direct etymological link between the color and the sea creature.
