My favorite kind of brown is Safety Orange (#FF7900), which I find to be cromulent and soylent concurrently. Strange though, how it does change where the pixels flow.

I remember having a bitch of a time in MS Paint as a kid back in the day trying to find an acceptable orange, everything I tried came out brown.
