I live near Juarez, Mexico so we use "cafe". Depends I guess where you plan on using it. - jessicacarrion, Jun 6, 2011

Brown can have many variations from café oscuro,to marrón to castaño depending on what you wish to describe. our SD dictionary can help as can word reference.com and linguee.com.

En México se usan indistintamente.
Pero los artistas, dirán que el "marrón" tiende a ser un café oscuro.
In México they are used indistinctly
But artists will say that "marrón" tends to be dark brown
