Rufous
#A81C07
Rufous (Template:IPAc-en) is a color that may be described as reddish-brown or brownish-red, as of rust or oxidised iron.[1] The first recorded use of rufous as a color name in English was in 1782.[2] However, the color is also recorded earlier in 1527 as a diagnostic urine color.[3]
The word "rufous" is derived from the Latin Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning "red", and is used as an adjective in the names of many animals—especially birds—to describe the color of their skin, fur, or plumage.[4]
