Brun vs marron

In one question, referring to the fur of l'hermine, brune was marked wrong with marron being correct. Quoting from the lesson on colors: brun will mostly be used to describe hair, skin (as in tanned skin), or fur.

Bonjour Mike,

Merci de votre commentaire ! Vous avez tout à fait raison ! And, I shouldn't have made this mistake being from Brittany because we (the Bretons) all know the stoat's fur is dark brown (tut-tut-tut ;-) )!

We've now amended this bit in the English and French sentences.

Merci de votre excellente contribution !

Bonne journée !
