It's worth noting that (according to Peeron[1]) this was only used to fill
horses' backs until 1994, and only became a regular architectural element
with the introduction of Wild West in 1995. Its use in Castle sets
1987--1994 was in a more specialized role, akin to the use of DkGray in
minifig accessories for over a decade before the large-scale production of
DkGray bricks.
On a related note, brown was used (IIRC) in maxifig hair in <set:565 Moon
Landing> in 1975, twenty years before it came into common use for basic
bricks. TLC moves much more quickly these days on introducing new colors
for the non-specialty elements. . .
