Brown is a composite color produced by a mixture of red, yellow and black.

can refer to a wide variety of colors, including shades of yellow or red.
Browns are usually described as light or dark, reddish, yellowish, or
gray-brown.
The donkey or ass, Equus africanus asinus, is a domesticated member of
the Equidae or horse family. The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African
wild ass, E. africanus. The donkey has been used as a working animal for at
least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly
in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draft or pack
animals. Working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below
subsistence levels. Small numbers of donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets
in developed countries.
A male donkey or ass is called a jack, a female a jenny or jennet; a
young donkey is a foal. Jack donkeys are often used to produce mules.
