I always interpreted it as "brown-skinned" meaning "tanned," since the hobbits, like most of the other races, were meant to represent western/northern Europeans. Especially since "fair" is almost exclusively used in the books to mean "good-looking," and "fair" as a color marker means blond (like "fair-haired.") The hobbits were supposed to be quintessential rural English types, and I've seen "brown-skinned" used in other contemporary to LOTR to mean "tan."

Same here. Just super English. Some of which have naturally olivey tanned skin especially doing outdoorsy work. Don't think it's whitewashing on the movies' behalf, but of course could always take issue with Tolkien's conceptions of races.
