    Beige is a type of brown, which is orange but a different brightness. Look at a color wheel and select orange and change the parameters for darkness you’re gonna get the brown spectrum.

    edit: since you seem to lack comprehension; light orange is beige; dark orange is brown.

      What colour are #6e6e19 and #e6e686?

      Look at a color wheel and select orange and change the parameters for darkness you’re gonna get the brown

      You again are saying that “dark orange is brown” which is not the same as saying “things which are not dark orange (such as dark yellow) is not brown.”

          They’re definitely not any kind of green lol. I can find you a different colour categorising website to say they’re brown if you like though

            Then i guess you made an error in your choices. Doesn’t change the fact that brown is orange with different luminance.

                No, its more of an olive green. Semantics. Brown is orange. Just because you go to the ends of the spectrum to try to find the most edge of edge cases where some people might detect a hint of brown, doesn’t change the fact that brown is orange.

                What color is #654321 according to you? Oh wait, it doesn’t matter what you think it is. Consensus says dark brown.

                  You can’t convince me that something is not brown by pointing to things and saying they’re brown. Imagine if I was trying to prove that a whale is not a mammal by showing you all kinds of land-dwelling mammals and saying, “no, this is a mammal” as if many examples of land mammals means that there are no marine mammals.

                  I am not, and never have, said that dark orange is something other than brown.

                  Here is a proper article about the perception of brown which states very plainly:

                  When red, green, or blue are dimmed, the resulting dark hues still retain perceptual elements of red, green, or blue; only yellow changes categorically, to brown.

                  And by the way:

                  Semantics

                  Yes, this is a conversation about semantics - that is - what words mean.

                    Nonsensical argument. You’re the one going against correct terminology. The burden of “proof” lies with you.

                    You hint at the idea that we indeed perceive colors differently. But just because i don’t know, and cant quite know how “brown” looks for you, the word “brown” is a specific combination of red, green and blue. It doesn’t matter if you think other colors also “look” brown.
