Is the KMC Z1 Narrow compatible with Shimano Nexus IGH?

Yes — the Z1 Narrow is explicitly listed as IGH compatible, including Shimano Nexus and Alfine. It is a common replacement choice for these systems.

Does the brown colour affect performance?

No — the brown finish is purely cosmetic. It may wear slightly over time to reveal base metal, which is normal and does not affect function.
