In most cases, these materials are brown, or naturally turn brown.
Green materials are usually green or come from plants that were green at some point.

These issues can usually be remedied easily by tweaking the ratio.
If you find that your compost pile is starting to smell, you may need to add more browns.
In the end, decomposition happens.
It is a natural process.
It really is that simple.
