Auburn (color)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Auburn is a reddish brown color. In Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, the protagonist Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov is said to have auburn hair. It is similar to burgundy and maroon.
Historically, the word abram was used to mean auburn, for example in early (pre-1685) folios of Coriolanus, Thomas Kyd's Soliman and Perseda (1588) and Thomas Middleton's Blurt, Master Constable (1601). [1]
The first recorded use of auburn as a color name in English was in 1430. [2]
