As you might imagine, I check auction sites to see what kind of buckwheat-related stuff is for sale, and I've noted the trend of comparing the color of something to buckwheat. This vintage scarf is typical. The hue does resemble untoasted buckwheat groats.
Then I saw this ad for a car seat cover and I was confused.
I thought "Is that leather "shell" supposed to be the color of toasted buckwheat groats?"
Then I read the description and saw it was filled with buckwheat "shells" (hulls). To quote Emily Litella. . .
