It would usually be taken to refer to all people of colour (except white if you count that as a colour). I imagine that yellow would be included as it's often used as a negative term to symbolise cowardice; I can't think of any negative connotations with brown though.
In fact, whilst the catch all politically correct term to refer to people of colour used to be the term black, it changed to 'black & Asian'. A lot of people now refer to people as 'brown people', but i'm not sure if this is meant to be a more accurate description of the former term 'black' to describe skin colour, or if It's meant to be a new way to differentiate between black & Asian people.
