Brown Needs a Bright Context
Light which appears yellow in a dark context appears brown in a bright
context. Some of the image elements which appear brown on the right
side of this color block emit the same light as corresponding elements
on the left side.
Click

Also note that light which is interpreted as coming from an
illuminated surface in a bright context may appear to come from a self
luminous surface in a dark context.
