TAN (COLOR)

'Tan' is a brownish, tawny color. The name is derived from ''tannum'', or crushed oak bark, that is used in the process for tanning leather. The resulting process often produces a hide with a 'tan' hue.
The first recorded use of ''tan'' as a color name in English was in the year 1590. ^[1]
