Brown
Brown (#895129) is a true orange with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (25°, 54%, 35%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary azure. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The warm mid-brown of weathered wood and packed earth — what most people picture when they hear 'brown'. CSS's canonical `brown` keyword (#a52a2a) sits much further toward brick-red and doesn't match everyday use; this entry tracks the intuitive color instead.
