In the 1960s there was a color, Dove white which was a white with a hint of gray, though I have been told a white with a barely hint of pink which doesn't make sense to me. It was associated with turtle doves. Dove gray usually was a light gray, in association with the gray part of the Mourning doves (usually has a peach colored breast). This is my understanding of it but this is word of mouth handed down and not scholarly research.
De -----Original Message----- Dear knowledgeable ones, A Victorian literature scholar of my acquaintance has asked me what color I think "dove-colored", as used in Little Women, would have been. She always thought white, because of white doves of peace, but I have always assumed a light gray, like the color now called "dove gray". Does anyone have anything definitive on this? Thank you!
