brown-greenish

Question

Hello!How would you say that something is brown, green and black? "brown-green-blackish" (it sounds ridiculous, so I guess that's not it).Thank you very much in advance

Hi Antonija,

How about 'it was a mixture of brown, green and black'?

What are you trying to describe?

Arvsworld · Answer

To me, the colors you talk about seem like the colors they use for military camouflage.

If you're referring to just one solid color, the term I'd use would probably be "dark greenish-brown."

Hi,

Perhaps you might say 'it was a mixture of . . . '? Or use the phrase 'it contained streaks of . . . '?

Antonija · Answer

Thanks Clive. Or is there a single word which means the mixture of these colours? Or perhaps to use an expression which would convey the meaning, perhaps a comparisson

Mister Micawber · Answer

I vote for Arvsworld's dark greenish-brown... or dark brownish-green. Use the final noun for the predominant hue.
