Dark and desaturated orange! Orange is more like #FF8000, so a wide gap between red green and blue, while "brown" is not only lower in values but they also need to be closer together, like #A07040 which looks "light brown" (saturation= wider gap, the least saturated colors are greys that all have the same values like #AFAFAF). If you try #A05000, which is darker (lower values overall) but saturated (wide gap), you truly have dark orange that doesn't feel "brown" yet.

Thank you for reading my exposé about colors
