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

Next you're going to gaslight me that pink and red are the same color

Orange was too goated of a color so they tried to nerf it by splitting it into two.

Orange is just light brown. Hey, pass me a slice of that Clementine light brown. Yum!

I eat light browns and drink light brown juice.

Uh aktually, brown is just +a* and +b* where b* > a* with a low L* value under the CIELAB color space.
