Neutral shade in some Florida décor?

TAMPA BEIGE (from “Tampa Bay”)

Think of a muted color named after a coastal city known for its NFL team—it’s not quite white, not quite brown.

This clue plays on "Tampa Bay," the Florida coastal region, by tweaking it into a color name. "Tampa beige" sounds like a neutral paint shade you might find in Florida-themed decor, while the wordplay hides the original place name. The joke works because "beige" is a common, bland color, and "Tampa" fits naturally as a modifier, making it seem like a real design term. It’s a clever way to disguise a location as a decor choice.
