lysebrun


Explanation:
Kan i praksis være nuancer fra lysebrun til kastaniebrun.

Jeg er ikke sikker på at 'tan' umiddelbart forstås af "danskeren på gaden".

agree  Rikke Lyksbo: Hvis der ikke også står 'light brown' i teksten, ville jeg umiddelbart bruge lysebrun (f.eks. et par lysebrune bukser).
