Fallow is a pale brown color that is the color of withered foliage or sandy soil in fallow fields.[1] This however is a post factum rationalization, and the etymologies are distinct.

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.[2] The color was historically often used to describe the coats of some animals, such as fallow deer.[1]
The normalized color coordinates for fallow are identical to wood brown, camel and desert, which were first recorded as color names in English in 1886,[3][a] 1916,[5] and 1920,[6] respectively.
