What does Eggshell really mean?

Alright, so "eggshell" is a really simple word. Imagine when you crack open an egg, the thin white part that's left behind? That's the eggshell! It's the hard, brittle covering that protects the egg and keeps the yolk and egg white safe inside.

Now, "eggshell" can also refer to a specific color - a very light and delicate shade of white, just like the color of an actual eggshell. It's not quite pure white, but it's not really beige either. It's sort of in-between.

So, when someone talks about "eggshell" in a conversation, they may be referring to the actual shell of an egg or that very pale shade of white. It's a really easy word to remember once you think about that everyday object - an egg!

I hope that makes sense to you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
