Please close your HTML tags, or put your code in a <DM> tag.

The reason these colors don't show is that you're calling them by name. Web browsers generally support a long list of colors by name, but I've never considered this "safe". DM obviously doesn't support nearly as many colors. Instead, try using color codes in the form #RRGGBB with hexadecimal numbers. Orange might be #FF8000, for instance, while brown could be #A06020.
