Brown is a color that resembles the color of most dirt. For example, this text is brown. As an HTML (hypertext markup language) color code, brown is represented as #A52A2A, which is hexadecimal for 165 red, 42 green, and 42 blue. The image shows an example of the silver color code with the RGB (red, green, and blue), HSL (hue, saturation, and lightness), and that it's not a web safe color. The image also shows the complementary color to brown.
Note
Some believe this version of brown has too much red. Computer Hope lists several variants of the color brown, like brown bear, and lists color shades at the bottom of each color code page.
