Get a brown bulb?
Brown is not a spectral colour.
On a TV screen, red light is interwoven with green light to make it look brown to the eyes.
From Wikipedia:
"In terms of the visible spectrum, "brown" refers to high wavelength (low frequency) hues, yellow, orange, or red, in combination with low luminance or saturation"

Add some white.

(And what on Earth does Wikipedia mean by a ''high wavelength''? In over 40 years of working in radio, I've never heard of wavelength being so described.. Frequencies are higher or lower, yes, but wavelengths aren't - they're longer or shorter.)
