darker than what? There is no such thing as dark light, colors like brown and pink that are lighter or darker require a comparison point to see

you've somehow managed to explain it without understanding it, the whole point is that brown only exists in contrast to other colours.

Brown means "orange that is darker than surrounding colours"
