Meaning & Story
Auburn refers to a reddish-brown color, derived from the Old French alborne and Medieval Latin alburnus meaning whitish. Today it is specifically used to describe rich red-brown hair or fur.
Auburn is a color name that earns its place through sheer beauty. Unlike generic color names, auburn is specific and evocative — it conjures autumn leaves, copper in firelight, the particular warm richness of a coat that changes color depending on how the light hits it. For a dog with gorgeous russet fur or a cat with burnished reddish tones, Auburn is a name that simply describes what you see and loves it completely.
