Julia, I have a late bloomer, Walter Jablonski, that is more of a tan blend than brown, and an early bloomer, Cowboy Country, that's tan with a darker brown eye. Here are photos of both.
For some reason all my photos of WJ appears more lavender than tan, but in real life, it's tan. :)

Julia,
Carpenter Shavings is a brown color. It's a double if you like those. The flower is fairly small, and the plant short

I don't have a picture of this particular plant but MATTHEW MARTIN, Doughtery, is about the brownest daylily that I have. It's a nice 30-36 inches tall and has an almost black band. Increases wonderfully and very hardy for me.

Milk Chocolate looks true brown to me, but I can't post because I have no pic of it.

Thanks for the suggestions and I will check them out. I just saw Matthew Martin on the garden tour. Please keep the suggestions coming.

My whole purpose in looking for browns is built around one of my "big" ideas to have a garden bed called the Four Seasons....spring,summer,fall,winter colors with other perennials mixed in to sort of help the transition from one seasons colors to the next and not have it look so sectioned. I wasn't quite sure what tones of browns to use so these are helpful in getting me started to think of the lighter to darker browns and height placement.
I just love new ideas.

Just got this one this year, just a baby, but it is a brownish color, if you like spider forms. This was the only flower it had on it, and I was quite surprised it even bloomed considering the small size of the fan...

juliany,

'Bacon Gold Nugget' is buff-gold with a cinnamon stippled overlay. It looks quite brown to me; here's a pic from this week. It photographs slightly rosy for me (something about my camera, I've had a hard time getting it "true"), but it's NOT rosy in real life:

I have 3 browns. These are all new to me this year.

One has not flowered for me yet but may open tomorrow or the next day. That is Milk Chocolate. One interesting thing about that on is that its buds are dark brown too.

Here are the other two.

Brown Witch is a gorgeous chocolate color that gets richer and richer all day.

This is FFO on Quilt Patch yesterday. One thing I liked about its bloom is that it faded to a nice warm tan color that was still very brown at the end of the day. It is a bitone with brown petals.

I believe that Old Termite is the brownest daylily of all. Sorry no picture. I have seen this flower in gardens and it is true brown and even the buds are brown before they open.

Thank you all for your suggsetions. A great start for me.

Julia

Here is my brown daylily. This picture was taken at 8:00 pm after a day of hot blazing sun. It is a very rich rusty orange.

Copperhead Road (any big surprise it is a John Kinnebrew Jr. cultivar?)

Kathy

Here is my first flower open on Milk Chocolate. Excuse that it is a little blurry. It was cloudy today and I did not take my tripod out with me. Best I could do handheld. You can see how dark brown the buds are in the background.

Hey Kathy I have to get that great Kinnebrew too...LOL I think this one also has that chocolate shade that makes it look almost chocolate brown...the gold also makes it pop..sorry My pic is not so good...I have it planted in full sun and it opens later in the morning...hard to get pic's of dark daylilies in full sun...but you will at least get the idea Julia.....:) It actually looks like chocolate raspberry in real life...

Another Kinnebrew great! Spacecoast Gwen Denny

Thank you all for the suggestions. These are really great.
I definitely will have to see these in person to see the browns.
The browns with the golden yellow will be a great idea for transitioning within the fall colors.
Really nice.
Thank you.
Julia
