As far as I know, a brown airport on the low en-route chart does not have an approach procedure but blue and green airports do. But what exactly are the differences between these colors?

          From the FAA Aeronautical Chart User's Guide:




          Facilities in BLUE or GREEN have an approved Instrument Approach
          Procedure and/or RADAR MINIMA published in either the FAA Terminal
          Procedures Publication or the DoD FLIPs. Those in BLUE have an
          Instrument Approach Procedure and/or RADAR MINIMA published at least
          in the High Altitude DoD FLIPs. Facilities in BROWN do not have a
          published Instrument Procedure or RADAR MINIMA.




          So the green ones are in the FAA TPP but not in the DoD High Altitude FLIPs.
