the only color that doesn't exist as light — it's just dim orange your brain dressed up
means A dark, warm color between orange and black, like soil, wood, coffee, or chestnuts.
from From Old English 'brun,' meaning dark or dusky — and at first as much about shine as hue, since 'brun' could describe the gleam of a polished blade as readily as the color of bark. It's an old Germanic word, kin to German 'braun' and Dutch 'bruin,' and a distant cousin of 'bear' and 'beaver,' creatures whose names likely meant 'the brown one.'
