I’m going to have to strenuously object to Wikipedia on that one.
Brown is definitionally a dark combination of red and green. Burgundy’s official color code is 50% red 0% green 13% blue.
As a sidenote, I love these litttle inane internet arguments.
Then let's do some inane arguing!
It all depends on your color model. If you would use CMYK instead you would see that burgundy is a combination of magenta, yellow and black, just as brown is.
The definition of brown can definitely include blue as well, e.g. W3C defines the keyword brown as rgb(165, 42, 42).
It's just dark orange anyway.
