Examples
She was carrying her overnight case and a basket of dried flowers-statice, strawflower, and immortelle in the pastel colors referred to in seed catalogues as "art shades": fawn, apricot, mauve, and pale yellow.
She also lent me a couple of Ben Elton books which were good, but not as good for relaxing as they have a whole dark seedy side.
They were a bit more seedy and sleazy, which was what I liked.
