Polish term or phrase: zgaszone marengo
Hipotetyczny, nieistniejący kolor, chociaż podejrzewam, że mogło chodzić o podany z przymrużeniem oka przykład nadmiernie skomplikowanej "marketingowej" nazwy typowego koloru. Drugi z podanych w tej rozmowie (rozmowa potoczna) to piaskowa limonka.

Explanation:
zgaszony - o kolorach: nieintensywny i mało nasycony - https://sjp.pwn.pl/slowniki/zgaszony.html

--------

W teorii koloru saturacja lub nasycenie, to subiektywna intensywność barwy. Im barwa jest bardziej nasycona, tym jest odbierana jako bardziej żywa. Za to barwy mniej nasycone, zdają się przytłumione i bliższe szarości (odcienie szarości charakteryzują się brakiem nasycenia).

-----

Saturation makes colors more vivid (less black or white added). Desaturation makes colors more muted

------

When any color is mixed with black it is called shading which lowers the "value" and makes the color a bit more "muted".

marengo matte


Explanation:
Marengo is a shade of gray (black with gray tinge) or blue colors.[5][6] Sometimes the color is described as a color of a wet asphalt. 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

The name marengo appeared in Europe in the 18th century and meant a dark brown fabric with white speckles. The fabric was initially produced in the village of Spinetta Marengo in northern Italy. In France, the color was called marengo ou brun (marengo or brown).[8] 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. Napoleon's famous war mount was also called Marengo.[9] Marengo color became popular in Russia, and, at the beginning of the 19th century, there appeared another, light gray variation of the color called marengo-claire (marengo light).
