brownorange

Brownorange is a descriptive color term used to denote a warm, earthy hue that sits between brown and orange. It arises from mixing orange with varying amounts of brown, yielding tones that range from muted amber to deep rust. There is no single standardized shade for brownorange; different sources define it differently, so the exact hue can vary.

In digital color spaces, brownorange hues are typically represented in the warm orange-brown region. Common palette examples include hex values in the brown-orange family, such as #A0522D (sienna) and #BF6A2D to #D2691E (orange-brown range), with RGB approximations like rgb(191, 106, 42) or rgb(214, 105, 30). These are approximate representations rather than official standards.

Usage of brownorange spans branding, interior design, and fashion, where it conveys warmth, earthiness, and an autumnal mood. It can serve as a primary color or as a supporting hue paired with creams, beiges, olive greens, navy, and charcoal. In typography, appropriate contrast is important to maintain legibility on brownorange backgrounds.

Notes: brownorange is not a CSS named color; when designing for the web, it is specified by hex, RGB, or HSL values rather than a formal color name. The term often overlaps with related colors such as burnt orange, rust, ochre, and sepia, depending on saturation and lightness.
