What is the difference between ちゃいろ and ちゃいろい


I saw both used for brown but looking at Google Translate it doesn't help me
to understand what the difference is between the two. Can someone help me.




茶色 / 茶色い, 茶色の

ちゃいろ / ちゃいろい

Noun / Adj.

> <https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/380841>
>
> 「赤い(red)」 「青い(blue)」 「白い(white)」 「黒い(black)」
>
> 「黄色い(yellow)」 「茶色い(blown)」 -- adjectives.

The tricky part is ...

Sometimes, you can't add い at the end.

> noun: noun+の ("no" adjective)
>
> みどり： みどりの green
>
> むらさき： むらさきの purple
>
> ピンク： ピンクの pink
