Chestnut is a color, a medium reddish shade of brown (displayed right), and is named after the nut of the chestnut tree. Indian red is a similar but separate and distinct color from ''chestnut''. Chestnut is also a very dark tan that almost appears brown. ==Etymology== The name ''chestnut'' derives from the color of the nut of the chestnut tree. The first recorded use of ''chestnut'' as a color term in English was in 1555.〔Mish, Frederic C., Editor in Chief ''Webster's Tenth New Collegiate Dictionary'' Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S.A.:1994--Merriam-Webster Page 197〕 The color maroon is also named after the chestnut (via French ''marron''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chestnut (color)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
