First, just because PSA says it’s a certain color does not make it so. PSA is color blind and they mess up too much. This Crawford is 1000% a brown Lenox. PSA blew this one.
That said, the Cobb is brown
Brown Lenox are not typically the color of brown Hindu (brown old mills are), and their shade of brown can vary from one brown Lenox to the next. I have owned 10-12 of these, and still own 5+, including this crawford. Some browns are darker than others but are all brown when put next to a black
