browner
Deeper in hue
Browner is the comparative form of brown—more brown than something else: The toast came out browner than I wanted.
A browner is also someone who browns things, especially in cooking: a meat browner.
In some contexts, particularly British slang, a browner can be a sycophant—from "brown-noser."
