Brown

Contrary to popular belief, brown is not a color.

Brown is a phenomenon in which viewing a dark shade of orange, it is perceived as a different color, mainly perceived when the shade of orange is significantly darker than the area around it.

Brown cannot physically exist as true light, as it is not a product of RGB values, but your eyes being illusioned into seeing it as a different color due to surrounding context. Some people are more sensitive to this illusion than others.

Color theory is a perfect excuse to call “brown” orange, as nothing can actually be brown due to the nature of brown.

brown the runway

rewinding an on-demand or DVR-r'd program, to watch it again, because you weren't paying attention the first time.
I'm watching Entourage, and Brad was smoking pot and laughing about something stupid when Turtle told Tom Brady to suck balls. Brad decided to 'brown the runway' and re-winded Entourage and I had to watch it again because he's an idiot.
