Chambray is a cotton fabric similar to denim but with a softer almost nappy feel to it, and a dustier look as it has white thread woven through it. It is usually a soft light denim blue colour, but you will find it in almost any colour. It is the softer feel and the slightly faded look of the fabric that makes it a "chambray".

Chambray is also the name of a soft, comfortable fabric woven of colored and white yarns first developed in Chambray, and today often used in men's cotton shirts.****** SO ITS NOT REALLY A COLOR***

"Chambray" can be used as a color - it is a dusty blue [ like half-faded blue jeans, not the ones that already have holes!]
