braunlich

Braunlich is an adjective in the German language meaning brownish or brown-tinted. It is formed from braun (brown) plus the suffix -lich, which yields a descriptive term for color. The sense is roughly “having a brownish color” rather than a pure, uniform brown. In contemporary usage, the form bräunlich is more common for describing color in standard German, while braunlich appears less frequently and is more likely to be found in older texts or in certain stylistic contexts.

Usage and nuance: Braunlich is used to describe a shade that lies between brown and other brownish

Examples: Die braunliche Färbung des Holzes deutet auf eine bestimmte Holzart hin. Das Fell des Tieres wirkt
