The HTML code for "Brown" is #A52A2A according to this reference: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp

That is indeed brown, unless it is a small band on a resistor or a thin wire, then it looks more like a eggplant (aubergine) color.
After I mentioned this, the resistor band color was changed from 'brown' to '#8b4513' in commit: 1aaedde

At Wikipedia Electronic color code they use the code '#964B00' in the table. However, most of my resistors have a darker brown.
Wikipedia uses that same value also in the page List of colors (compact).
But then they use #88540B in the page List of colors: A–F.

I suppose that no one knows what brown is. Perhaps Wokwi can tune the colors here and there for a better look.

The brown wire is not brown enough.
Can the bands on the resistors be a little wider ? A gray band is not well visible.
The yellow and white resistor bands are too bright.
The gold is too dim when compared to yellow, orange and white bands.
The red resistor band might be slightly too bright, making it go in the direction of orange. Red paint in real life is not that red.

The colors of my monitor are decent, but not color accurate.
