ABOUT
THE COLOR BROWN
Brown, when used as a general term, is a color that is a dark yellow,
orange, or red, of low luminance relative to lighter or white colored
objects. Some amber and yellow colors of lower saturation are called
light browns.
Brown paint can be produced by adding black or their complementary colors to rose, red, orange, or yellow colored paint. As a color of low intensity it is a tertiary color in the original technical sense: a mix of the three subtractive primary colors is brown if the cyan content is low. Brown exists as a color perception only in the presence of a brighter color contrast: yellow, orange, red, or rose objects are still perceived as such if the general illumination level is low, despite reflecting the same amount of red or orange light as a brown object would in normal lighting conditions. The first recorded use of brown as a color name in English was in AD 1000.

in culture
Animal Rights
* The Brown Dog affair was a political controversy about vivisection
that raged in Edwardian England from 1903 until 1910.
Astronomy
* The planet Jupiter has orange, red, and brown coloration in its
clouds.
* Astronomers have recently detected the existence of the long theorized
formerly hypothetical but now known to be actual astronomical objects
called brown dwarfs, which are intermediate in mass between a gas
giant planet and a star.
Business
* Pullman Brown is the color of the United Parcel Service (UPS) delivery
company with their trademark brown trucks and uniforms. UPS has filed
two trademarks on the color brown to prevent other shipping companies
(and possibly other companies in general) from using the color if
it creates "market confusion." In its advertising, UPS refers to itself
as "Brown" ("What can Brown do for you?").
City
Planning
* Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial
facilities where redevelopment for infill housing is complicated by
real or perceived environmental contaminations.
Computing
* Ubuntu is well known for its default brown color scheme. The exact
shades have changed from release to release, with a general trend
towards lighter colors and 'shiny' graphics.
Cooking
* Browning is a process to remove excess fat from meat by heating,
as under a broiler or in a frying pan, until it turns brown.
* Browning is also used to describe a range of chemical changes to
food, desirable and undesirable. Examples of browning reactions include
caramelization and the Maillard reaction (both generally desirable)
and the process that leads to the undesirable browning of the flesh
of cut apples, pears, potatos, and the like.
Ethnography
* Brown is sometimes used to refer to brown people in general or sometimes
more specifically to the darker skinned Indo-Aryan and Dravidian of
South Asia.
* The term brown or bronze may be used by mestizo or Amerindian Hispanics
to describe themselves.
* Austronesians in the 19th century and 20th century were often referred
to as the Malayan race or brown race. (A term for Austronesians often
used today is Maritime Asian.)
* In her 1942 Glossary of Harlem Slang, Zora Neale Hurston placed
"high yaller" at the beginning of the entry for her African American
colorscale, which ran: “ high yaller, yaller, high brown, vaseline
brown, seal brown, low brown, dark brown ”
Food
* Chocolate is often associated with the color brown.
* Brownies are a favorite dessert.
* Boston brown bread is a popular bread made with molasses that is
often sold in cans.
* In Japanese language, brown is described as Chairo (?? ,Cha-Iro?),
which means "tea color", although green tea is most popular in Japan.
Games
* In the billiard game of Snooker the 4-point snooker ball is brown.
Movies
* Four shades of brown is the title of a Swedish film from 2004
Music
* Little Brown Jug is a drinking song written in 1869 by Joseph Winner.
* Brown Sugar is one of the most popular songs by the Rolling Stones
(Album: Sticky Fingers).

* Feces are usually brown.
* A large number of mammals and predatory birds have a brown coloration.
This sometimes changes seasonally, and sometimes remains the same
year-round. This color is likely related to camouflage, since the
backdrop of some environments, such as the forest floor, is often
brown, and especially in the spring and summertime when animals like
the Snowshoe Hare get brown fur.
Sports
* Brown is sometimes used as a team color or name, as in the Cleveland
Browns of the National Football League, which got its name from its
founder and long-time coach, Paul Brown, but also uses brown as a
team color. The St. Louis Browns are a former Major League Baseball
team, now known as the Baltimore Orioles; they do not use brown as
a team color. For about 25 years, the San Diego Padres had brown as
a primary team color.
