Notes on Meaning

This is a specialized, traditional term. Its primary meaning is the dyestuff (the bark itself). Its secondary, more common meaning in modern Vietnamese is the specific brown color derived from it, especially in the fixed phrase "nâu sồng" (monk's brown). It is not used to refer to the color brown in general.
