2. Sepia [sepja]
深棕色
In modern English, sepia is best known as the name for the brownish tone that makes photographs look vintage. Sepia hues can be found in an autumn leaf—and in the ocean.
在现代英语中，sepia为人熟知的意思是指复古照片的棕色调。秋叶和海洋中就有这种颜色。
Originally, the word was applied to the cuttlefish, a creature related to the squid and octopus that, when alarmed, releases an inky secretion. In the 19th century, watercolor painters began using sepia secretion to create a rich, brown pigment, which became known as sepia. A common description of the color is brownish gray to dark olive brown.
Sepia的本意指墨鱼，这种生物和乌贼、章鱼属于同类，受到惊吓时，会释放出一种污黑的分泌物。19世纪时，水彩画家们开始用墨鱼的分泌物制作色彩浓厚的棕色颜料，称之为sepia。对这种颜色最普遍的描述是介于棕灰色和深橄榄棕色之间的一种颜色。
