What does AUBURN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Of a reddish-brown color, especially describing hair.
Auburn sits between plain brown and red on the color spectrum, and people most often use it to describe hair rather than objects or clothing. A person with auburn hair usually has strands that catch a warm, coppery tone in sunlight rather than the deep red of a true redhead. Painters and dyers sometimes borrow auburn for other reddish-brown shades, such as an auburn autumn leaf or an auburn wood finish, though hair remains its most common use. The word can also stand alone as a noun naming the color itself.
