Add Brown Color to Palette

[skylerknight]

Hi,

It would be great if a true brown color could be added to the color palette. I know it's hard to get a decent color brown, but something would be better than nothing for sure. I noticed that even the official Tailwind site is using a background of "bg-orange-500" and then and inner div with "bg-black bg-opacity-75" to create a true brown color.

Thanks for your consideration : )

Fun fact...there is no such thing as brown in RGB made by light. There's only orange in a darker shade/luminosity compared to the context. That's why they do the bg-orange-500 and opacity trick.

For those interested...this was pretty fun explanation by TechnologyConnections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4aWZRtTwU&t=931s

It would be nice if this was at least a part of colors, I mean if rose is a variant of red, brown could be a variant of orange :)

Although that's cool, it doesn't really matter, brown is just a standard colour and having to use tricks to achieve it is annoying.

I guess the only option is to add a brown hex colour.

Kinda... brown isn't really a standalone color... it's a shade of orange.
You may remember roygbiv.

But I think if tailwind can have 5 different collections of grey then yeah, brown/tan should be on the pallet

Here is a brown option: https://davidpiesse.github.io/tailwind-md-colours/

just add the source colors to tailwind.config.js/theme/colors
