Marengo is one of the shades of gray (black with gray tinge) or blue colors.[3][4] Sometimes the color is described as a color of a wet asphalt.[5] In the cloth manufacturing industry, marengo usually refers to the color of the fabric and means black or dark brown with small inclusions of white. Sometimes the word refers to black fabric with white threads.
Origins
The name marengo appeared in the XVIII century and meaned the dark brown fabric with white speckles. The fabric was produced in the village of Marengo in northern Italy. In France, the color was called marengo ou brun (marengo or brown). After the Battle of Marengo of 14 June 1800, in which Napoleon Bonaparte's troops defeated the Austrian army, marengo became known as gray or black fabric with splashes of white or gray thread. This color became associated with a gray overcoat that Bonaparte briefly brought into vogue. At the beginning of the XIX century in Russia there appeared another, light gray variation of the color, marengo-claire (marengo light).
Use
The color of marengo was used in the Soviet Union for uniforms. In 1921, the color was approved for sailors clothing. In 1923, the Soviet Militsiya received a new uniform of marengo color.[6]
