"Brown...is the rather indefinite appellation of a very extensive class of colours of warm or tawny hues....The term brown...properly denotes a warm broken colour, of which yellow is a principal constituent: hence brown is in some measure to shade what yellow is to light, and warm or ruddy browns follow yellows naturally as shading or deepening colours."
