It's kind of meaningless to ask if two names refer to the same color unless you're using some extremely specific naming system, such as PANTONE, because they're not even the same as themselves... if you buy a blouse labelled "ecru" from two different manufacturers, they may actually be fairly different shades.

But while people may disagree about the exact definitions, most would agree that ecru and tan are both in the the category that can be broadly described as "light brown" (along with khaki and beige).
