Originating in the U.S. Army, the shade of Coyote Brown stems from soldiers' need for uniforms that blend into diverse landscapes, particularly during the Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm.

Similarly, Maharishi’s Sage draws inspiration from vintage military fatigues, referencing the faded green shade of classic U.S. Air Force uniforms. The colour is doubly significant thanks to the spiritual value of sage itself, which is widely viewed to represent purification and etheric protection; the plant is revered across many cultures and ages.
