I think they're talking about Ennis's colors there!
Ellemeno:
I'd love if someone could post a picture of an example of Brokeback Bronze.

Sounds like the color of the older Ennis's tanned and weatherbeaten face. :(
Jeff Wrangler:
Two of them at work this morning! :o
My supervisor sent me an e-mail that made no sense. Ultimately it turned out that she had sent it accidentally to me, and it was intended for someone else, but, meanwhile, I e-mailed her back: "Hunh?" ;D
Then, on my lunch break, instead of eating, I had to run out to get my watch battery replaced. That was a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. ;D

Interesting that you should bring this up, Jeff. As an editor, how would you spell that word normally? I'd spell it "huh." But to me, "hunh" is a Brokieism itself. Maybe because that looks more like the way Ennis pronounces it? For whatever reason, that spelling is so common at BetterMost that, while I might not use it when writing something for somewhere else, I ALWAYS use it here. It connects me with my Brokie identity. I have talked other Brokies into switching to that spelling, too.
