In practice, {{tp|kapesi}} is more commonly used for browns than grays, because browns are usually hard to describe with {{tp|pu}} words, while grays can easily be described as {{tp|pimeja walo}} ("light black") or {{tp|walo pimeja}} ("dark white"). One possible alternative to {{tp|kapesi}} is {{tp|kule ma}} ("earth color"). |

| Part of speech | Content word |
kapesi is an obscure, pre-pu nimi ku lili for brown and gray.[1] It is derived from either Cantonese 咖啡色 (gaa3 fe1 sik1) or Mandarin 咖啡色 (kāfēisè), meaning "brown" (literally, "coffee color"). It was found in the original dictionary of the language from March 2002,[2] but had been removed from the word list by June of the same year.[3]
jan li wile pali e ni2 kili-lili kapesi li pana ala e kon ike.jan li wile pali e ni: kili lili kapesi li pana ala e kon ike.[4]
People want to cause this: small brown fruits (beans) don't give bad gas.
In practice, kapesi is more commonly used for browns than grays, because browns are usually hard to describe with pu words, while grays can easily be described as pimeja walo ("light black") or walo pimeja ("dark white"). One possible alternative to kapesi is kule ma ("earth color").
One time, at a tenpo kulupu, jan Sonja heard pipi Kewapi aptly describe kapesi as unsaturated.
