Etymology

Easy
adjective

Old French aisié, comfortable, at rest — used as a color modifier since the eighteenth century for hues that read as visually undemanding. Easy beige, easy gray: moderate saturation combined with optical restfulness. Sits at the crisp-bucket center alongside calm and settled.

Topazio
noun

The Italian word for topaz — used in Renaissance jewelry vocabulary and Italian fashion writing for the warm gold-yellow of imperial topaz. The color refers to a faceted Italian-cut topazio: a saturated, slightly cool deep gold-yellow with the gem's signature internal warmth. The Italian cousin of topaz.
