Black and white I geht. But Brown an magenta?

They are combination of colors rather than a specific wavelength. (Similar to white, which is combination of all of them)

Any of the colors can theoretically be created using a combination of multiple colors (see RGB)

Brown is actually dark orange. It just became its own thing when we gave it a distinct name. So people who know more color names really can see more colors.

No it's not. Orangey-brown is kinda dark orange I guess, but greenish brown is certainly not

[–] Acinonyx@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what's the hexcode for greenish brown?

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It doesn't exist. Nor does brown. It's all just orange, but with extra context. Here is a video you should watch that will be exploring the color brown.

I can smell a Technology Connections link from a mile away, apparently.
