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?

    To get some intuition around saturation and lightness, try out a color wheel. Start with a color like #A68768 and then play around with the saturation level (labeled “S” in “HSL”). Have fun!
