Navajo White is an orangish white color, and derives its name from its similarity to the background color of the Navajo Nation flag. The name "Navajo White" is usually only used when referring to paint. From the 1970s to the 1990s it was the standard interior paint color used in many tract homes in the United States and especially apartment complexes as it does not show stains from cigarette smoke or fingerprints. In recent years it has lost favor to other shades of off-white, grey, and pastel colors.
In 1987, the color "Navaho white" was included in the X11 color list, which, after the invention of the world wide web in 1991, became known as the X11 web colors.
