Take for example Russian коричневый (brown).

It stems from корица (cinnamon), which was first introduced to Russia in 16th century, and literally means "the color of cinnamon".

But before that they used бурый, from turkic bor/bur, meaning bay, as in horse color.

I guess there must be an older synonym for "color of coffee" in Georgian too.
