What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

Maybe, but not in the English language. And I suspect that tawny would have been considered more brown than anything else. The colour itself would probably have been around before the orange was introduced, but English wouldn't have a word for it. It would have just blended in with other colours, like red or brown.

And speaking of colours blending in, Disney has (At least) two different hues of paint that it uses to have some of the more utilitarian parts of the park just blend in with the greenery or the sky: Go Away Green and Blending Blue. Notably, there are multiple shades of the former. That said, while we don't have an exact hex code for either, Sherwin Williams has two paints that seem to come close:
