Like what we have in a famous saying on how to survive a bear encounter based on its color, “fight back if it’s black, lie down if it’s brown, and run if it’s white.”

The colors refer to the three diffrent species of bear. Polar bear white, grizzly/brown bear brown and black bears black. It has nothing to do with individual fur colors of specific individual bears. Cinnamon bears for example are black bears but with brown fur and you should still “fight back”.
