i'm not sure.
Marron is also a sort of nut. And the color of this nut is called marron. And we have another nut called noisette. It is a bit lighter than marron.
My eyes are marron , means they are darker than if they were noisette.
Oh, and we say : my eyes are marron (or noisette), but my hair are brun (or black)
A brown bear is "un ours brun".
A white bear or polar bear is "un ours blanc ou polaire".
Brown eyes are "yeux marrons".
Brown hair are "cheveux brun".
Brown pants are "pantalon marron"
Brown skin is "peau brune".
A seal brown horse is "un cheval bai-brun"
Brown wood is "un bois marron"

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand

Like Russia4ever said is quiet hard to explain the difference lol.
But basically, you use "brun" when you want to talk about the hair. The hair of a person or an animal. Like she said: cheveux brun or ours brun.
When you use "marron" it's for the rest: une tasse marron (a brown cup), un lit marron (a brown bed), etc.
I hope you understood what I was trying to say (-.-')
