Brown is a composite color.

In the CMYK color model used in printing or painting, brown is made by

combining red, black, and yellow,[1][2] or red, yellow, and blue.[3] In the RGB color model used to
project colors onto television screens and computer monitors, brown is made by combining red
and green, in specific proportions. In painting, brown is generally made by adding black to orange.
Mixing red-green-blue pigments makes mud color. The brown color is seen widely in nature, in
wood, soil, human hair color, eye color and skin pigmentation. Brown is the color of dark wood or
rich soil.[4] According to public opinion surveys in Europe and the United States, brown is the least
favorite color of the public; the color is most often associated with plainness, the rustic and poverty.[
