A dull grayish-brown color, or sometimes a variant spelling of the color 'dun.'
From Old English 'dunn,' possibly from Old Norse 'donn' or related to Sanskrit 'dhúman' (meaning 'smoke'). The color was named after the dull brown-gray appearance of smoke or earth.
Dun-colored animals (like dun horses or dun deer) have this color as natural camouflage in rocky and sandy environments—the color is so effective at blending in that 'dun' became a military camouflage color in World War I.
