Question: How Do I Mix Browns?
Answer:

The easiest way to mix a brown, is to mix a primary color with its complementary color, creating what is known as a tertiary color.

So add orange to blue, purple to yellow, or green to red. Each of these makes a different brown, so make up a color chart to give you a quick reference to refer to (or at the very least, jot down a note of what specific colors you used).
