noun, noun which may take the genitive case particle 'no'
tawny brown; dark vermillion
A traditional Japanese color name for a brownish-red or dark reddish-brown hue, often used in contexts like kimono, ceramics, or art.
彼女は枯茶色の着物を着ていた。
She wore a kimono of tawny brown.
この茶碗は枯茶の釉薬がかかっている。

The term combines 枯 (withered, dried) and 茶 (tea, brown), suggesting the color of dried tea leaves. The alternate spelling 唐茶 (Chinese tea) may reflect historical associations with imported tea colors.
