Hi Tuono.
According to Postiglioni and Degl'Innocenti, Colori E Schemi Mimetici Della Regia Aeronautica 1935-1943, the colour is Marrone Mimetico 2.
Hope this helps,
Vincent.

In italian, bruno is a shade of marrone, so they have about the same meaning. To tell the truth, bruno refers to a very dark brown...
