Cool way to learn some of these. Does anyone know why "Peru" is #CD853F, a brown? It has nothing to do with the flag (which is red and white).

(Aside: the word "peru" in Portuguese means turkey, like the bird. I somehow doubt this is related.)

Probably because large parts of Peru is that color - deserts, brown mountains

I would completely invert saddlebrown and chocolate.

I mean, #D2691E is more orange than chocolate, IMO.
