Colorgrown cotton is cotton that is naturally grown in subtle shades of greens, browns, and unbleached whites. It is almost always organically grown. Colorgrown cotton is not dyed in any way and is minimally processed.

Colorgrown cotton has been grown for thousands of years in North and South America. The fibers were too short for modern textile machines, so manufacturers favored the longer-staple white cotton. In the early 1990s, Foxfibre colorgrown cotton, a long-staple colorgrown cotton, was invented, opening the doors for colorgrown cotton to be used for apparel, bedding and furniture.
