- While marrón is the standard word for brown, many Spanish speakers use moreno when referring to people with brown skin or hair to avoid the connotations of the word used for objects.
- The word marrón is an outlier among many Spanish color adjectives because it was borrowed from the French word 'marron', which itself refers to the chestnut fruit.
