Brown is a color. It can be thought as a darker, typically desaturated shade of orange, and can often be produced by combining red and yellow with another color, namely blue.
In the RYB color model, brown is made by mixing the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. In the CMYK color model used in printing and painting, brown is usually made by combining yellow ink with smaller amounts of magenta and black inks. In the RGB color model used to project colors onto television screens and computer monitors, brown is the result of combining red light at low intensity, and green light at an even lower intensity, with blue light also being present in most shades of the color.
