Colors with Undefined Names 4. Bole Color 90 - #79443B
Bole is a shade of brown. There is an English word bole meaning the trunk of a
tree, but according to the American Heritage Dictionary, this word is simply a
homograph/homophone that does not share the etymological origin of the color
word bole, which derives from Latin bo-lus (lump of earth) and refers to a kind
of soft fine clay whose reddish-brown varieties are used as pigments, hence its
use as a word for a reddish-brown color.
