Let's talk about brown a bit. Brown is a composite color, meaning it is a combination of colors to make it. There are many ways to make brown. You can combine all the colors together, or you can use red and green in specific proportions to make brown. Brown is the least liked color, according to some, but I love its richness and velvety smoothness. In languages other than English, brown sounds a lot like our word for coffee.
