I have just done this quiz. Why would brown ‘coussins’ be ‘marron’ and ‘bruns’ be marked wrong?

Bonjour Steve,
That's an excellent question!
The lesson explains that
"In colloquial French, brun will mostly be used to describe hair, skin (as in tanned skin), or fur. In other cases, we will use marron."
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
