Is there bran in rye flour? If so what would be a good nonbran substitute?

I'm just getting into making bread and have someone who can't do bran. The recipe calls for rye flour and can't seem to get an answer on the bran in rye flour.

the more bran it contains the darker the rye flour, so lighter rye contains less.

So white rye would work?

light rye bread yeh.
if you want black rye add dark molasses and cocoa powder.
