Te mando un enlace para matices de marrón. Allí dice "fallow" pero "fawn" es más usado en moda, decoración, etc. También se usa "tobacco" (ver último enlace, al final).

nude, nude-colored


Explanation:
As far as I can tell, this color is often used with underwear, in which case the most appropriate word seems to be nude (theoretically, to match the skin color).

If it is not supposed to represent skin color, perhaps khaki or tan would also work.

havana (brown)


Explanation:
It might depend on what it is you're describing. I don't work much with textiles, but I know havana (or havana brown) is used for eyewear. Otherwise I'd agree that "tobacco" renders the idea.
