I think that Dale goofed and the producers didn't catch it.  Both 
the US and UK versions of CoS say "brown" and in the British cds 
(read by Stephen Fry) it is also "brown". 

I remember when I was new to this list (nearly TWO years ago!), I 
was really thrilled to have caught this and thought I was the first 
one to notice the discrepancy.  Alas, one of the Mods referred me to 
the HPfGU archives where, sure enough she had brought it up way back 
in 2000 *sigh*.
