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?

    Because colors are more nuanced than that

      Could you please elaborate?

      Does it have something to do with brightness vs saturation?
