Explanation

Buff can mean to polish with a soft cloth, but as a color adjective, it specifically refers to a dull light yellowish-brown or tan color. This color term originates from the color of buff leather or soft leather made from buffalo skin. The other meanings like 'joke', 'protective gear', or 'cliff' are not standard definitions of buff as a standalone word.
