Cordovan Brown is a deep, rich, chocolatey brown color and part of our SOLID-COLOR Exterior Deck, Fence & Siding Stain Collection. A classic stain color known for generations, Cordovan takes its name from the city of Córdoba, Spain, where the production of cordovan leather was first practiced by the Visigoths in the seventh century. This color is an ideal choice for Mediterranean and Southwest design styles.
