A member asked:
Is it possible with jaundice to turn brown instead of yellow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discloration: A change in skin color either way is indicative of some abnormal condition. Different tints of a darker yellow, may be thought of as brownish, but still may be caused by a liver dysfunction and be "jaundice.".
