Browns can be made in several ways, the regular method is to use various strengths of Iron oxide and/or Manganese dioxide. Additions of other colourants in small quantities can give subtle variations.
Orange or rusty coloured glazes are a result of a surplus of Iron oxide, the most common and versatile of pigments for creating glazes.
Yellow glazes using oxides rather than commercially bought stains are a little trickier to achieve but not impossible. Rutile in combination with titanium dioxide creates a lovely pale yellow, while Vanadium oxide gives a slightly more cream/brown effect.
White glazes are generally a clear base with an opacifier such as Tin oxide added.
