Looking at it, it makes sense as BROWN + Y. N. (for why not). Not sure what cellar doors have got to do with it. Is she in a cellar in one of the promo photos? I kept looking for actual wood types that might also be tints, but this was much simpler.

This is correct, and Bronwyn is normally a Welsh name:

(It is worth noting that Tolkien was speaking with an English accent, so probably pronouncing it "Sellador".)
ARONDIR - Take a bow, Halfelven, starless but wearing your ring.
METEOR - Sounds like more flesh from the sky.
ARTANIS - A warrior paints and takes tea before Indy's lost city.

Z - Fourth in the race, we hear in Gondor their cars had bladed wheels.
BRONWYN - Slightly confused tint of wood? Why not briefly look behind the cellar door third.
NORI - Short or shorter - see, you know not, nor I.
One to go! It's a purely Tolkien clue, with no references to the series except that the answer appears therein.
