A perfect marriage: YOU and Ubuntu 16.04

There is no brown. I don't know what colors you're seeing, but it's orange and purple.

If you would have clicked the Ubuntu button in the launcher you would have gotten the dash, where you can search and browse for stuff, including apps. If you right-clicked that button you would have been given options, including for applications. You can also directly install stuff from the dash without opening the software center.

You could also open the dash by pressing the Windows key.

The Dash doesn't work like a menu so it takes some getting used to, but other than that the system is super simple and easy. Ubuntu doesn't have so many configuration options probably because for the most part they are unnecessary, and those who want more can install additional tools or use dconf.
