Wood Brown

Wood brown is a color that resembles wood. At a hue of 33, it is classified as an orange-brown. The first recorded use of wood brown as a color name in English was in Robert Ridgway's 1886 book Nomenclature of Colors for Naturalists, Compendium of Useful Knowledge for Ornithologists. Ridgway further refined the details of its color coordinates in his 1912 publication Color Standards and Color Nomenclature. The normalized color coordinates for wood brown are identical to fallow, camel and desert, which were first recorded as color names in English in 1000, 1916, and 1920, respectively.
