How is brown color made?

  1. Equal parts of primary colors

  2. Unequal combo of primary colors

  3. Combining warm tones only

  4. Mixing cool tones only

The correct answer is: Unequal combo of primary colors

Brown color is typically made by mixing together primary colors, such as red, yellow, and blue. Option A suggests that equal parts of primary colors create brown, which is incorrect since brown is not a primary color. Option C and D also suggest using only warm or cool tones to create brown, but this will result in either red/orange or blue/purple tones, not true brown. Option B is the most accurate answer as it takes an unequal combination of primary colors to make brown. So, the answer is B.
