brown

The category of brown colors covers all shades whose dominant hue is closer to brown than to any other basic color. It includes light and dark browns of any brightness or saturation, as well as mixtures of browns with other colors where the overall result is mainly brown.

The family includes pale beige and dark chocolate as well as medium brown. Lightness and saturation can therefore vary substantially.

A secondary tint does not exclude a shade when the result is still predominantly brown. The specific shade definitions identify those finer distinctions.
