They're definitely not any kind of green lol. I can find you a different colour categorising website to say they're brown if you like though

    They are categorised as "brown" and "tan" in the basic categorisation.

    There is no way I'm calling literally dark yellow "yellow-green" as it's no more green than bright yellow.

    What color is #654321 according to you? Oh wait, it doesn’t matter what you think it is. Consensus says dark brown

    You can't convince me that something is not brown by pointing to things and saying they're brown. Imagine if I was trying to prove that a whale is not a mammal by showing you all kinds of land-dwelling mammals and saying, "no, this is a mammal" as if many examples of land mammals means that there are no marine mammals.

    I am not, and never have, said that dark orange is something other than brown.

    Here is a proper article about the perception of brown which states very plainly:

    When red, green, or blue are dimmed, the resulting dark hues still retain perceptual elements of red, green, or blue; only yellow changes categorically, to brown.

    And by the way:

    Semantics

    Yes, this is a conversation about semantics - that is - what words mean.

    This is not about burden of proof, it's that you're trying to establish that brown is not dark yellow, which is not possible by giving other examples of what brown is. See: the example I already gave.

    As for correct terminology I gave you a peer reviewed citation for mine so I'm content with that. You show no sign of even having read it so goodbye.
