You don't need a Kitchen Bouquet to turn Jambalaya brown.

I brown the rice before I add liquid.

I don't even brown the rice. I occassionally have problems getting it the right color, but it's all in how you brown the onions. Do it right and the color will be perfect. Get impatient and not cook them long enough and the color will be pale. Get impatient or distracted and allow the onions to burn and the color will be dark. It's that simple.
