Isabella

[Traditionalist]

isabella; isabel; isabelline; dingy greyish-yellow color, as of unwashed underwear. The term was used by Walton and Cotton to describe the colour of a fly, and a couple of other authors have used it since. It is the same colour as the unwashed wool from a ram´s testicles. It has also been described as "light dun yellow". J Chetham "The Angler´s Vade Mecum ( 1689) also mentions Isabella coloured mohair.

It purportedly stems from this;
