Complimentary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. When mixed together they make brown. Essentially the 3 primary colors are red, yellow, blue. 2 primary colors mixed together make a secondary color. These are red+yellow=orange, blue+yellow=green, red+blue=violet. On a color wheel, find a color and look exactly opposite that color and that will be the compliment. Example blue is opposite orange.
The short answer is: Mixing blue and orange makes a great brown. Mix red and green and get a grey brown. Mix violet and yellow and it makes lighter brown. For a really warm brown i mix orange and violet. You have to experiment a little using different amounts until you get the color you want.

Red + Green = Brown
Orange + Blue = Brown
Yellow + Purple = Brown
these are the three most common ways to make brown. Red/green and yellow/purple are my personal favorites ways. Hope this helps your daughter

Brown is the color that is made when opposite colors on the color wheel are mixed together in paint.
Red and green, orange and blue, or yellow and purple pigment will mix together to make brown.
You can also mix the primary colors: blue, red and yellow and that would make brown.
