If brown is actually a darker shade of orange (Wikipedia), then how do we get light brown and not orange?

How is it possible to be light and a “darker shade” at the same time?

      Believe it or not, I came to ask this right after this very video and confirming elsewhere.

      The video, however, does not address this matter

        I think he address it in the “context” part. It is a perception thing.
