Hi,
I don't know if there is any standard color set for animals, but buffy
or buff is a yellowish brown...
I remember that you can look up plants by color, and than I found the
following page...

the color

lead me
to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which, while a fun show, was less than
illuminating. Can anyone give me some guidance on this? Thanks in
advance.
