This seems to be a new style of colour, has anyone ever seen a similar term in English please, related to clothes. Possible shoes, I am not sure as it is simply a translation of terminology without any context.
Thank you very much for any help

washed white
I believe the literal translation will do, since the term describes that it's not a bright white colour, but rather a more faded tone.

| Thank you Andrew, I did find it for other colours but not for white and I have never come across it before, nor even found it by searching for it in Spanish!! |

Washed white vs Whitewashed
CAVEAT. Washed white and whitewashed are not the same, as I initially supposed:
"Whitewashed Jeans -Skinny Fit - 12/13yrs • £3.00 -"
"Whitewashed Jeans -Skinny Fit - 12/13yrs • £3.00 -"
Note from asker:
| Maybe you should post Whitewashed as an option Neilmac? I assume you are saying that would be a better option? |
Discussion
Would "off white" work for clothes here?
