Buff is the pale yellow-brown colour of the un-dyed leather of several animals.
As an RYB quaternary colour, it is the darker colour produced by an equal mix of the tertiary colours citron and russet.
The first recorded use of the word "buff" to describe a colour was in the London Gazette of 1686, describing a uniform to be "...a Red Coat with a Buff-colour'd lining". It referred to the colour of un-dyed buffalo leather, such as soldiers wore as some protection: an eye-witness to the death in the Battle of Edgehill (1642) of Sir Edmund Verney noted "he would neither put on armor or buff coat the day of the battle". Such buff leather was suitable for buffing or serving as a buffer between polished objects. It is not clear which bovine "buffalo" referred to, but it may not have been any of the animals called "buffalo" today.
The word "buff" meaning "enthusiast" or "expert" (US English) derives from the colour "buff", specifically from the buff-coloured uniform facings of 19th-century New York City volunteer firemen, who inspired partisan followers among particularly keen fire-watchers.
