Isn't brown just a dark orange? I guess it would depend on the exact shade

Only 20 minutes? Was TC even trying if it's not at least 45 minutes?

The are some colors that our brains make up that don't actually exist, they're called impossible colors, this video about it is pretty interesting imo

That doesn't justify calling them fake. All colors are made up in our brains. At least call them composite
