| | crus refers to colour | Explanation:
In this case I think it is talking about the colour that in Portuguese we say crus ... as in the colour of raw cotton, or linen, that is the shade that we normally refer to as crus. This reference of the kimonos gives you the shade of crus.

I think ECRU best describes CRUS: see definition in wikipedia (it is quite good) describes the shade greyish-pale yellow or a light greyish-yellowish brown. It is often used to describe such fabrics as silk and linen in their unbleached state. Ecru comes from the French word écru, which means literally 'raw' or 'unbleached'.
