Dark yellow! Yellow is inherently bright and sunny, when you try to make it dark it becomes a hideous contradiction.
We just call that brown
That would be dark orange.
Brown is a whole range of colours. Beige, for example, is not dark orange, is it?
Beige is a type of brown, which is orange but a different brightness. Look at a color wheel and select orange and change the parameters for darkness you're gonna get the brown spectrum.
edit: since you seem to lack comprehension; light orange is beige; dark orange is brown.
What colour are #6e6e19 and #e6e686?
You again are saying that "dark orange is brown" which is not the same as saying "things which are not dark orange (such as dark yellow) is not brown."

They're definitely not any kind of green lol. I can find you a different colour categorising website to say they're brown if you like though
Then i guess you made an error in your choices. Doesn't change the fact that brown is orange with different luminance.

They are categorised as "brown" and "tan" in the basic categorisation.
There is no way I'm calling literally dark yellow "yellow-green" as it's no more green than bright yellow.
No, its more of an olive green. Semantics. Brown is orange. Just because you go to the ends of the spectrum to try to find the most edge of edge cases where some people might detect a hint of brown, doesn't change the fact that brown is orange.
What color is #654321 according to you? Oh wait, it doesn't matter what you think it is. Consensus says dark brown.
You can't convince me that something is not brown by pointing to things and saying they're brown. Imagine if I was trying to prove that a whale is not a mammal by showing you all kinds of land-dwelling mammals and saying, "no, this is a mammal" as if many examples of land mammals means that there are no marine mammals.
I am not, and never have, said that dark orange is something other than brown.
Here is a proper article about the perception of brown which states very plainly:
And by the way:
Yes, this is a conversation about semantics - that is - what words mean.
Nonsensical argument. You're the one going against correct terminology. The burden of "proof" lies with you.
You hint at the idea that we indeed perceive colors differently. But just because i don't know, and cant quite know how "brown" looks for you, the word "brown" is a specific combination of red, green and blue. It doesn't matter if you think other colors also "look" brown.
This is not about burden of proof, it's that you're trying to establish that brown is not dark yellow, which is not possible by giving other examples of what brown is. See: the example I already gave.
As for correct terminology I gave you a peer reviewed citation for mine so I'm content with that. You show no sign of even having read it so goodbye.
