Tyre recommendation

Hi everyone. Quite specific one here. My OH has a bike that she leaves at
my house and uses occasionally. The tyres on it are a bit old with
perishing side walls, so I want to replace them. I'm looking for a pair of
700x38C tyres with a reasonable tread for loose gravel paths and a bit of
mud as well as roads. Of course the important thing for my OH is that they
have nice tan/amber side walls rather than being all black, as that will
suit her "look" for the bike! Something like the Michelin World Tour would
probably be OK, if they went up wider than 35s.

Any recommendations out there?

Cheers

Colin

I don't know if it's still the case, but the World Tour used to be
quite generously sized for its nominal section.
