There have always been brown pens. Until recently, there hasn't been brown ink. The first inks were blue and black because those colors were practical with available chemicals. Brown ink would have lower contrast with brown paper or parchment, especially as it aged. Red and green became popular because they provide contrast, not only with white paper, but also in comparison to black and blue inks. Brown offers no such advantages. Brown is also associated with some less-than-pleasant substances.
