auburn
Coppery hair shade
Auburn is a reddish-brown color, typically describing hair.
The shade falls between brown and red, often with copper or chestnut tones: She had long auburn hair that caught the light.
The word appears almost exclusively in descriptions of hair color, though it can technically describe anything with that warm, brownish-red hue. (Capitalized Auburn refers to cities or universities.)
