Fist off, modern porcelain insulators are typically gray in color, however, prior to the 1960's porcelain insulators were all manufactured to be brown in color. Then, during the president Johnson era, first lady, Lady Bird Johnson initiated a "Beautification Campaign" across America. This included planting trees, removing billboards along the sides of highways and giving the United States power system a more modern look. Thus, a general gray color was instituted for new power construction, this including the porcelain insulators that were attached to electrical towers. If you look closely at older transmission and distribution lines, you can sometimes see these older brown insulators.
Porcelain insulators are made brown in color because the brown glaze applied on the surface helps in reducing the visibility of dirt and pollution, making it easier to identify if the insulator needs cleaning or maintenance. Additionally, the brown color helps in better blending with the natural surroundings, making them less visually obtrusive in outdoor settings.
Porcelain insulators are typically made of a mixture of clay, feldspar, and silica. These materials are mixed together, molded into the desired shape, and then fired at high temperatures to create a hard, smooth surface that is resistant to electrical current.
The color made when orange and blue are mixed together is brown.
Insulators are typically made of materials such as rubber, glass, porcelain, or plastic. These materials have high resistance to the flow of electricity, which helps prevent the transfer of heat or electricity. Insulators are used to separate electrical conductors and ensure safety in various applications.
Brown or gray depending on the proportion of each color used.
Light brown color is made by mixing brown and white. It is a soft, muted shade that results from combining a darker brown with a lighter color like beige or cream. The amount of each color used will determine the exact shade of light brown.
Porcelain
No, a sink is not a conductor. Sinks are typically made of materials such as ceramic, stainless steel, or porcelain, which are insulators and do not conduct electricity.
China is, or used to be (the current material may be some made made material) china on power lines. The separators were made of china to insulate them.

It would be dull in color. (And definitely not made of metal)
Dark brown.
They have the color brown because the were mixing colors around and one of the colors they made and decided to call it brown.
