Ooo, look at all the colours c:
Well done once again. Another colour you can add in the brown section is Tan, that's the colour I currently use alongside the Indigo, helps represent my Pandeer's colours a bit. c:
Keep up the amazing work <3

Done! XD Though to be honest with you, the reason I did not originally add it, is because it looks too close to a few of the other shades of brown I listed. I of course did not list every color, I only listed some of the colors that contribute to certain shades. Anyways there you go, I added it for you even though truthfully it looks exactly like a few other ones or at least to me it does.

Interesting, I guess it pops out more in text...
Down here, it looks more vibrant than it does up there. Lol.
But compared to the others listed, not much of a difference. Lol.

It pops out in your text because you have light on dark. That kind of color set usually does make the lighter colors look much more vibrant, when in the text of my post as you can see I tried listing colors in a dark to light order so it blends in more with the other light colors XD

I also want to add in, for you guys:
You can take hex codes, and do the same thing in place of the color name!

And nevertheless, this is a good way to show there are more casual named colors that can be used. I never noticed this was in the tutorials area, but it's wonderful for others.

This is the hex I used for this sentence:#2d9b7a
