Brown Brigade

Brown is descriptive of being scorched and rebellious (from the Hebrew word Chuwm; to be warm, i.e., by implication here to be sunburnt).

Revelation 16:8-9 ‘And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.’
