Okerpruun

Okerpruun is a color term in Estonian that describes a warm brown with a yellowish ochre undertone. It lies in the spectrum between ochre and brown and is commonly used to describe pigments, dyes, or colors in art, design, and fashion.

The word combines the Estonian "oker" meaning ochre and "pruun" meaning brown. In color charts and palettes, okerpruun designates a hue of earthy warmth rather than a pure brown or pure ochre.

Practically, the shade can vary from light, golden-brown to deeper, olive-toned brown, depending on medium, lighting, and mixing with other colors.

In application, okerpruun is used to evoke natural earthiness and rustic warmth. It pairs well with greens, creams, and charcoal, and is common in interior design, painting, textiles, and branding where an earthy, dependable impression is desired.

Related terms include ochre (oker) and brown (pruun) and related earth-tone hues such as ochre-brown in color catalogs.
