    I get what you’re saying, but color is weird. There’s a specific term to describe colors that come from light sources, and colors that are a result of an object absorbing light. Brown is more the result of a lack of color

    Don’t take my image too seriously, it’s incredibly cherry-picked and not meant to serve as some sort of debate point. Although it does look like a very light shade of brown IRL…

      I get what you’re saying, but that’s the stealing yellow light on a brown or tan surface. What I mean is:

      Imagine a laser light. Now imagine one colored brown. You can’t. But orange, purple, green, etc… all can cast light. Brown cannot.
