Q: Why is the brown box cheaper than the color box? What does that mean?

According to one reviewer who already had a set of Ciara from a department store, the brown box set was not the same as the color box set. The color box set matched her existing Mikasa Ciara and she felt the brown box set was cheaper. Anyone else able to compare?
