How do you say brown in hawaiian?

There isn't a single word for "brown" in Hawaiian. However, depending on the context, you can use several options:

* 'Ele'ele: This word literally translates to "black," but it can be used for dark brown, especially for hair color.

* 'Olena: This word refers to the turmeric plant, which is a deep yellow/orange color, but can also be used to describe a brown hue.

* 'Ula'ula: This word means "red," but can be used for reddish-brown shades.

For a more precise description, you can use a combination of these words or use descriptive phrases like:

* 'Ele'ele me ka 'ula'ula: "Black with red," for dark brown.

* 'Ele'ele me ka 'olena: "Black with turmeric," for brownish-yellow.

The best translation for "brown" ultimately depends on the specific shade and context of your sentence.
