a slightly more common form is brunneous; yours is spelled brunnescent, but that's only found in Really Big Dictionaries (W3).

why? 'cause it just means dark brown.

edit: I see lots of "brunescent cataracts" and "brunescent lenses" with just the undoubled "n" -- must be a strictly medical usage, and it's just like them to confuse things.
