La sedia is feminine, so why doesn't the adjective marrone end in "-a"?
How would this sentence change if we were talking about multiple chairs?
It would become Le sedie sono marroni. For adjectives that end in -e in the singular like marrone, the plural ending is always -i, regardless of whether the noun they describe is masculine or feminine.
Why does the color marrone come after the noun?
In Italian, descriptive adjectives like colors almost always come right after the noun they describe. You literally say 'the chair brown' (la sedia marrone) instead of 'the brown chair'.
