Well, I'm sure there's a few fulvous clothes and windows in Jack Vance somewhere - and what about Gene Wolfe's fuligin cloak?. For me fulvous is like a certain duck - but I know CAS was fond of tawny too, and any other colour in the red/brown area. You kind of have to for Dying Earth stuff like Zothique where the sun is a darker shade, or everything is just reddish. The good thing is these colours crop up a lot, and certain other favourite words of his, so reading Smith gets easier before long. He isn't have as forbidding as Wolfe, and Vance can be a bother with his loquacious wizards.
