How To Create Brown
Brown is a tertiary color which means that it is created by mixing together primary colors such as red, blue, or green. Likewise, you can also create brown by mixing complementary colors such as orange and blue or purple and yellow together. The color you create can vary a lot depending on the specific colors you use and how much of each you combine.
Brown Hex Codes
Hex codes are a great way to specify exactly what color you would like to use if you are creating a color palette for your website or your brand. Hex codes are 6-digit codes that specify how much red, green, and blue are contained within a color. Hex codes are displayed in the following format: #RRGGBB.
The brown hex code is #964B00.
From this hex code, you can see that the traditional brown color does not contain any blue.
Brown RGB Code
Just like the brown hex code, the brown RGB code also specifies how much of either red, green, or blue is contained within a color. RGB color codes are displayed in the following format: RGB(RR,GG,BB)
The Brown RGB Code is RGB(150,75,0)
Again, you will see that there is zero blue in the traditional brown color.
