I distinctively remember playing Spore and wondering why I couldn't find a "brown" button and could only 'approximate' it by turning up the darkness on orange. That's when it hit me.

The connection between brown and orange is way less intuitive than the one between red and pink - even though they're pretty similar. I always saw pink as very red-like but didn't see brown as orange-like. I feel like a lot of the browns we tend to interact with in nature are very desaturated, which might contribute to why it comes as a shock.

I mean it really depends on the shade of brown. some browns skew more red or yellow. but yes it did blow my mind that brown is "warm dark color"

It blew my mind and my wife still refuses to believe me when I tell her it, it’s really interesting how the human mind understands colour

I wasn’t but that’s cuz I liked color theory as a young kid. Most kids around me were shocked tho ye

I only learned that a few years ago from a YouTube video. It was interesting, but what I was more surprised by was the fact that I learned this in my late 30s and not earlier.

If I was properly thought colors when I was a baby, then maybe my brain would see brown as orange+black, green as yellow+blue, and blue as green+violet.

Color theory was my special interest for a while when I was 14 and this felt so weird to me
