This is a very different article for this site on Gaslight Attackers.
1. some of the mythology of dark colors and Debauchers is presented from out crafters blog at
https://crafterhacker.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-debauchery-of-mr-brown.html
2. some information on "reaction formation" is presented: we can become like the pendulum, and steer so far away from the behaviors of debaucher, that we become priggish, moralists, and sexually repressed. This article address how to not develop a life that is only in reaction to, or opposite of The Gaslighter. Don't be them, but be balanced.
Here's that crafter's article on Mr. Brown.
Why do we have innate dislikes of Brown? I remember seeing so many Dutch and Brazilian paintings with brown and mustard tones. It just never appealed to me.
FYI: when I see jewelry or cut jasper and agate I've imported to have spots or blotches of gray or BROWN, I see trouble. Unlike so many colors that can be worked with by some lightening, darkening, or covering it up somehow, Gray and Brown just don't go away. It means, a cut stone I bought was a reject. You just can't get rid of brown stuff in your crafts and art. It's big trouble. In jewelry, it means you better toss it. For other crafts, it means putting a permanent cover paint over it. Many times, I've tried to remove brown. It's not just a color, like an Easter egg dye or Koolaid you can put some bleach or Oxyclean on: it's several deep minerals. And, Brown is the biggest trouble for crafts: it's has a place with wood items, but you'll never find a person seeking:
Unfortunately, we come across brown lots. So, what about browns? You might find that brown pipe that you can turn into a red copper with a burnish or the glue on rust powders. Or, you might turn that found brown bird house into something bright with yellow polka dots..... But, brown is not the end RESULT.
As a crafter and rockhounder, I've read much over the years on the origins of colors used in dyes and importantly: historical paintings.
Color agents weren't easy to find. We just can't imagine these days the difficulty of finding some paint for home or craft that has a pure white, a blue, a purple, or a red. But, just over 150 years ago, and throughout ancient history, that was the case: coloring agents were not common:
explorers scoured the world not just for spices and riches, but for Colors to be used in art.
If you were to study the tiled mosaics of ancient Pompeii or color agents used in colored glass, paintings, clothing or tapestry dies, you might find they came from minerals found in:
What is common in these rare and hard to find colors was that the color came from a Mineral. Mines were developed to exclusively harvest colored minerals for crushing, and dyes also came from colored stones or sand on the surface. These were crushed for the color agent, including the crushing of valuable gemstones just to get the color.
So, when you see that colored glass of:
Think MINERALS
Why do we have innate dislikes of Brown?
1. One reason for this is that other colors that were brighter, were harder to come by, including:
2. Dark Colors also were overly used in art to portray:
power
sin
shadow and darkness
mood, such as the very serious Dutch Painters with portraits or ship yard scenes
It was overdone, the mood bent, and artists also used the cheaper brown and ochre paints.
It was the acceptable trend.
You may note that in regions of the world where these minerals were not rare, that you'll see white, yellow or other colors being used. These are mineral rich areas of the world, where today, many valuable minerals or precious stones are still extracted which were once the source of color pigments.
And, just the opposite of this has occurred in many other parts of the world: in most tropical rain forests, where the soil and minerals are monotone: you may see art with typical rain forest soil red used, but when other dyes and pigments were used that were organic: they did not last in history as the mineral colors do.
Other BBC articles on color:
3. I think there's also ancient human thoughts about brown that create revulsion on a subconscious level, as brown could be associated with:
The umber pigment was first made from Italian soil. Kelly Grovier looks at how a shade of brown came to depict sinfulness and shadow.
Umber is a conundrum, a rusty riddle of a colour. A cross between the deep redness of blood and the blasé blandness of mud, umber is a havering hue with a haunting humidity all its own. Umber’s ability to ebb and flow between shades of our interior self and those of the exterior world we inhabit make it the perfect pigment for painters as diverse as Bosch and Modigliani, Titian and Velázquez, to create scenes of enduring urgency – scenes we feel as much as see. Swipe umber from the paintbox of art history and the dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio’s canvases and the meditativeness of Rothko’s 1962 work Untitled (Umber, Blue, Umber, Brown) would dissolve into drabness.
More like this:
see the BBC links below, as well as many many helpful articles on color, style, and the history of color agents:
- The disgusting origins of the colour purple
- The colour that means both life and death
- The murky history of the colour yellow
So complex a mixture is umber’s identity of the inner and outer worlds, its very name (originally in Italian ‘terra d’ombra’, or ‘earth of shadows’) is pulled in two directions. Some maintain the word is merely an echo of an actual location, Umbria, the mountainous region of central Italy where, sometime in the 15th Century, the pigment was first professionally concocted from soil rich in manganese and iron oxide.
Others contend that the colour’s name is less a geographical allusion and more a mystical designation inspired by the spiritual depths that the pigment enables artists to plumb, one that owes its origin instead to the Latin ‘umbra’, meaning ‘shadow’. If we mix the two hypotheses together, we discover perhaps something closer to the truth: a paradoxical shadow-land of a hue, one that binds into a single substance the material grittiness of this world and the immaterial gloom of one that lies just beyond our perception.

In mythology, Satyrs, Fauns, and Pan are associated with the color brown. The brown creatures also included the Fauns, breaker's of rules. The images of of a human with gross animal parts is called "hideous" imagery. Tricksters and rule breakers of the night and interstitial times of dawn and dusk, the Satyr is portrayed with a regressed teen or obsessed sexuality life: there is a constant erection and portrayals of sexual entitlement and seduction of any and all.
Mr. Brown, truly is a debaucherous color! This brings us back to out history above, the Dutch and other painters. Why was brown chosen for dark mood, sin, and debauchery? A history of other art, like this below, well preceded that:
When you see a Mr. Brown in the world, a sexually entitled person: think of Donald Trump and the plethora of sexual liaisons...... and do let that disgust you!
As a trickster, brown and Satyr's let out sexuality and darkness out of our basements of repression. But, when the Satyr, painting, or Presidency is overtaken by Brown: turn away to color:
Quote
"Walk outside the prison you've been living in, by your own torture, and walk out into the daylight, as a person experiencing color for the very first time"
(modified from Rumi, 13th century poet)
"We have all these archetypes or roles within. If handled at the Round Table of our Soul, they help us be whole, though we and others may not like all of that. But, it's some balance. And, it's not forcing human nature into some closet or basement of moralistic repression. But, when an archetype takes over out soul, it becomes a dictator, a debaucher. Sex and necessary flirting is taken over with sexual obsession and entitlement. We become in any role that overtakes our soul, turning to it's darkest nature, as any Hitler. But, a Hitler of
power
moralism
sex
power
greed
getting possessions
only living for a sport or pleasure
or even ignoring a sport or pleasure as a priggish inner Hitler takes over......
Satyr, Faun, Pan and world myth pix from Wikipedia:
Why present the following profane images of Satyr's?
1. Western society denies male and female genitalia in it's own art. Children are raised with human genitals as being objects with a nature separate from the rest of the body: evil in nature
2. To ignore something, is to hide it. Things hidden then become stumbling blocks: When there is a Debaucherous Mr. Brown around, one is not mentally prepared for that sexual thief..
Today, women are in a very naive position: examples of Debaucherous Mr. Brown in art and history can be found in European Museums, but not in the US. They are taught a life is gilded and others are altruistic. Then you hit the wall with encounters with the Dark Disordered.
Who are the Dark Disordered persons walking around you?
https://gaslightattack.blogspot.com/
3. In our own repression of all of Mr. Brown, we also lose human aspects of sexuality and passion. The baby is thrown out with the bath water! Oddly, in examining Mr. Brown, we find two things:
a. the nature of 20% of the population to lie and take
b. our lost selves: when some rejected aspect of our personality is found, it can be brought foreward to "use", but it doesn't overtake us and we don't become Mr. Brown.
4. Artists and crafters are fearless: they explore without evaluation world and historical art and cultures different from their own.
https://gaslightattack.blogspot.com/
Now, this above is a statement of Satyr, when an archetype takes over one's soul. But, what happens when you throw the inner Satyr or Pan into some mental basement prison?
What happens with you ignore or imprison the shades of Brown?
You lose:
And, it you ignore brown, and don't become a studier of it: you lose the awareness of it's good and bad presences in arts, and you forgo the craft of working with it.
It seems with Mr. Brown, extremes are a risk:
You become a sexually entitled and using Donald Trump, or risk going to the other extreme: being a priggish avoider of the inner Pan, the holder, as a friend Greg says, the holder and doorway to : passion, sexuality, drive, and color.
Extra: an example of the rhetoric of the Dark Disordered Mr. Browns who are proven debauchers:
The news:
Trump and Trump Junior attack the accuser of Kavanaugh for supreme court. Trump stopped the soft peddle of "listen to both sides", and changed to attacks today of the woman accuser.
Republicans followed suit the last 24 hours:
caught on tape: GOP lawmakers jocking about the accuser
cronies profer alt stories to beffucle the matter: it was another guy
republican voters say, as they've said for Trump: "Boys will be boys".
Donald Jr. chimes in, as he also supports the Debaucherous Mr. Browns in sexual taking: he's a minion of sexual takers as he is junior one now

1. We know that victims are always reluctant to come forward to the police when sexually assaulted or raped, for HUNDREDS of reasons
2. We know that the Mr. Browns use propaganda, counter information, and dozens of methods to:
discredit and defame the woman
and build their own mythic image of their own Wonderment.

The Debauchery of Mr. Brown

| Brown in the art, is a mood maker for fantasy art and games. Note the grotesque features. |
FYI: when I see jewelry or cut jasper and agate I've imported to have spots or blotches of gray or BROWN, I see trouble. Unlike so many colors that can be worked with by some lightening, darkening, or covering it up somehow, Gray and Brown just don't go away. It means, a cut stone I bought was a reject.

And, Brown is the biggest trouble for crafts: it's has a place with wood items, but you'll never find a person seeking:
- a brown ring
- a brown wall handing
- brown beads
- dark brown clothing without something of color contrasting with it
- brown shoes with no shine or style to add to the color
Unfortunately, we come across brown lots. So, what about browns? You might find that brown pipe that you can turn into a red copper with a burnish or the glue on rust powders. Or, you might turn that found brown bird house into something bright with yellow polka dots..... But, brown is not the end RESULT.

explorers scoured the world not just for spices and riches, but for Colors to be used in art.
If you were to study the tiled mosaics of ancient Pompeii or color agents used in colored glass, paintings, clothing or tapestry dies, you might find they came from minerals found in:
- world mines from Africa
- surface collection of stones, sand, pebbles and rocks, including those from river beds
- unusual sea shells that contained deep mineral colors that would not fade like organic dyes (from plants because the dye did not have a mineral as the origin, and would only last a few years, such as those from flowers, trees, leaves, etc.). The mollusk that produced royal purple was able to extract minerals from the water, including it's shell of calcium, to create that lasting color.

What is common in these rare and hard to find colors was that the color came from a Mineral. Mines were developed to exclusively harvest colored minerals for crushing, and dyes also came from colored stones or sand on the surface. These were crushed for the color agent, including the crushing of valuable gemstones just to get the color.
So, when you see that colored glass of:
- blown glass
- recycled glass beads
- stained glass that has deep and not surface painting colors
- a painting
- paint
- a ceramic mug
Think MINERALS
Why do we have innate dislikes of Brown?
1. One reason for this is that other colors that were brighter, were harder to come by, including:
- pure white
- purples
- yellows
- neon colors
- bright and even luminescent color types (an ingredient, also harvested, is added for some reflection wither that be reflection of ocean shells or mica / pyrite).
2. Dark Colors also were overly used in art to portray:
power
sin
shadow and darkness
mood, such as the very serious Dutch Painters with portraits or ship yard scenes
It was overdone, the mood bent, and artists also used the cheaper brown and ochre paints.
It was the acceptable trend.
You may note that in regions of the world where these minerals were not rare, that you'll see white, yellow or other colors being used. These are mineral rich areas of the world, where today, many valuable minerals or precious stones are still extracted which were once the source of color pigments.

3. I think there's also ancient human thoughts about brown that create revulsion on a subconscious level, as brown could be associated with:
- decay, perhaps even death: watch out
- rust: a clue that something is weakening or could cause you trouble in repair later: watch out
- poo: blech, avoid
- winter colors of plant matter: oh, where is the renewal of spring?

Now, this above is a statement of Satyr, when an archetype takes over one's soul. But, what happens when you throw the inner Satyr or Pan into some mental basement prison?
What happens with you ignore or imprison the shades of Brown?
You lose:
- mood
- darkness
- ancient colors
- the contributions of the Dutch painters
- wood tones and grains in art and jewelry (and, I LOVE wood in jewelry, even rings)
- brown toned stones and jewels (many brownish precious stones are the rarest and most valuable: think of brownish rubies or garnet: a red with a hint of brown)
And, it you ignore brown, and don't become a studier of it: you lose the awareness of it's good and bad presences in arts, and you forgo the craft of working with it.

TIP: buy a brown desk of quality wood, buy a pendant with a backing that is wood that shows off that opal stone, buy shelf paper that fakes quality wood, buy a phone case that looks like wood,
but:
don't buy a brown car that looks so classy: you'll never resell it, goes the rule for used cars
