WTF are you talking about? Do you even know what Cream of Wheat is? It
is white, not brown. Okay.... slightly off white, but it sure as hell is
not brown. Maybe you are confusing the colour of Cream of Wheat with the
colour of the guy on the front of the box.

Cream of Wheat is made from farina, which is made from the germ and
endosperm of wheat. The bran is removed.

My limited experience with grits is that it looked like Cream of Wheat
and the taste was similar..... bland.
