[edit]Is it just my monitor, or does that "brown" look like a lighter version of maroon rather than actual brown? --Delirium 00:23 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- It's not just your monitor. On my screen it looks very reddish. --Robert Merkel 00:28 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I've changed it to [170, 85, 0], which was already mentioned in the article as the colour that was supposedly in the box. Should look brown now. כסיף Cyp 00:42 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
looks too orange to me, but we'll be on this all night if we let ourselves be. XD

Why is this article start class?

Brown Mars is unhelpful.
[edit]As a colourblind person I thought this was a joke. Mars is literally "the red planet". Could the image for brown be adjusted to respect cultures and customs? I can't walk around telling people Mars is brown regardless of what the so-called experts say. This is crazy unhelpful for anyone wishing to understand the concept of "Brown". 124.169.133.91 (talk) 09:45, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
