Fallow is a pale brown color that is the color of sandy soil in fallow fields.
Fallow is one of the oldest color names in English. The first recorded use of fallow as a color name in English was in the year 1000.[1] Also rooted in this older color, is Indian tradition in South Africa where it has been dubbed Ravi Brown.[citation needed]
