It depends on the wood. Wood comes in many different colors, so it's a bit hard
to qualify one shade of brown as "woodlike" and another as "not woodlike".
Heck, there's even a species of tree that has a distinct purple shade that fades
over time as it's exposed to air. Tan is a decent approximation of many basic
types of milled lumber, such as oak, but most trees that I've seen in person
have a much darker shade of bark than old brown (except birch trees, of course).
> Q2. Is the new brown like chocolate?
Again, chocolate ranges from off-white to extremely dark brown, with a few
color-tinted flavors thrown in for good measure (I've seen a few types of cherry
or strawberry-flavored chocolate that have a pinkish hue. Has anyone actually
done a side-by-side comparrison of Hershey's chocolate and the two shades of
brown? I don't know how the rest of the world views such things, but in the US,
Hershey's is the brand most commonly associated with plain solid chocolate.
> Q3. Are chocolate coloured trees feasible or not?
As long as all of the brown pieces in a single tree (preferably in an entire
"species" of tree) remain consistant, it shouldn't ever be the problem that
everyone seems to think it will be. Not like dark-bley hair and dogs.

Again, reddish-brown isn't an entirely objectionable color in its own regard,
like dark-bley is (at least they didn't make it bluish-brown), so most of the
problem with the introduction of this specific color is that it throws color
consistancy out the window. Dark-bley seems to receive the most objections,
followed by light-bley, reddish-brown, and both last and least (heck, I can't
remember the last time someone even mentioned it) light-light-bley.
