Colors are relative. Some colors like brown don’t even exist on their own.

    Uh ? But I can make and see brown. What do you mean by that ?

    It’s a dark orange, but it needs the right context to not look orange.

    Brown exists as a color perception only in the presence of a brighter color contrast.

    I'm not sure that I understand how different brown is from others colors 🤔

    I agree that it needs the right context, but that seems to be the case for light brown, and other shade of blue, grey, green, yellow...need rhe right context to be seen as what they're calle.
