What Color is Linen?

Do you ever ask yourself ‘ What color is linen? ‘ It’s a sensible question, given that most of the linen textiles we buy are pure white or a wide range of colors. Here’s the lowdown on linen’s natural state. The color of finished linen is determined largely by the conditions in which the flax was grown. This means that different rolls of undyed linen fabric could be different colors, depending on their source and when they were produced. The most common tones for linen fabric are light buffs and ecrus through to darker greys.
