Pale grey or off white. You have to remember that colour judgement is a subjective thing, and a digital photograph possibly subjected to processing, reproduced on a monitor, may not appear the same as the original subject seen by the reporter. Colours can appear more or less vivid and shades can alter.

Actually, they are khaki cargo pants.

khaki is a particular color and fabric; cargo is the style.

@ehBeth,

Everything she's wearing , other than her shirt, appears to be khaki-coloured.

When I was a kid, my uncle had what my father (ex-British Army, where the term originated) called a "khaki van". The official name for the paint was "Desert Sand".

Khaki, ( Hindi: “dust-coloured”, ) light brown fabric used primarily for military uniforms. It is made with cotton, wool, or combinations of these fibres, as well as with blends of synthetic fibres. It is made in a variety of weaves, such as serge.
