Medical - Cosmetics, Beauty / Micropigmentation treatments
Spanish term or phrase: caqui ceniza
En la teoría de color para pigmentología se parte de cuatro colores generadores (negro, rojo, amarillo y blanco) para obtener los colores bigenerados (amarillo blanquecino, rosa, naranja, gris, violeta berenjena y verde oliva) o los trigenerados (amarillo anaranjado, violeta lila, caqui ceniza, castaño cálido).
Another blended colour on my colour chart for micropigmentation (permanent make-up for eyebrows, lips, scar tissue, areola etc). See also a previous question of mine:

So...
"khaki grey"? "ash grey"? "ash khaki" (which sounds plain wrong)?
