Denim

French

“the blue of denim fabric”

Where it comes from

serge de Nîmes, 'serge fabric from the city of Nîmes'

Fun Fact

The fabric's name shortened over time from 'serge de Nîmes' to simply 'denim', and the indigo dye traditionally used on it gave rise to denim blue as a standalone color name.
