Rain had drabbled the picnic blanket, leaving tiny dark spots everywhere.

She spent the afternoon drabbling in the café, shaping tiny narratives between sips of coffee.

Among all the paintings in the gallery, hers looked the drabbest, absorbed by the dim lighting.

The second painting looked even drabber than the first, its colors washed out and lifeless.

She bought a drabber to tone down the highlights before the reunion.
