European electrical equipment, fittings and fixtures have wires coloured as follows:
Brown for Hot (also known as "Line" in Europe)
Blue for Neutral
Green/Yellow stripes for Ground (also known as "Earth")
So it seems to me that your light fixture may have come from Europe.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

Which is the Hot wire and which is the Neutral wire if the wires you see are a Brown a Blue and a Yellow Green wire?
In electrical wiring, the live or "hot" wire is typically brown or red, the neutral wire is typically blue or black, and the ground wire is yellow or green. So, in this case, the brown wire is likely the hot wire, the blue wire is the neutral wire, and the yellow green wire is the ground wire.
How do you install a light fixture that has two brown wires and a ground?
Connect one brown wire to the live wire (black) from the ceiling, the other brown wire to the neutral wire (white) from the ceiling, and the ground wire to the ground wire (green or bare copper) from the ceiling. Make sure to turn off the power at the breaker before starting the installation.
How do you wire a two wire fixture to a three wire outlet?
The National Electrical Code allows this change only if you upgrade the whole circuit. BUT ..If you are using this outlet only when the light is on, connect the black wires together and the white wires together. Ground wires together to the box also. IF THIS IS WITHIN 6 FEET OF A WATER SOURCE, IN A BASEMENT, GARAGE, OR OUTSIDE IT HAS TO BE GFI PROTECTED!!!!
What is the color of live wire neutral wire and ground wire in Bangladesh.?
In Bangladesh, the live wire is typically red, brown, or black; the neutral wire is typically blue or black; and the ground wire is typically green or green with a yellow stripe. It is important to consult with a local electrician or electric code regulations for accurate information.
How to wire a plug with blue brown and Black?
Test the wire with a meter to determine which wire is your hot, which is your neutral, and which is your ground. Those colors are indicative of a 240v circuit normally, so you may have two hots and a ground. Other wise Hot=Black, Neutral=White, and Ground=Green for placement. On your plug, Black/Hot goes to the brass colored terminal. Green/ground goes to the sometimes green terminal that is off by itself usually at the bottom of the receptacle. The neutral goes to the silver terminal.

What is the color combination of the blue, yellow, and brown wires in the electrical circuit?
The color combination of the blue, yellow, and brown wires in an electrical circuit is typically used for specific purposes, such as blue for neutral, yellow for earth/ground, and brown for live/hot.
Do you attach the red wire to the brown and black to the blue for a light?
No, typically red wires are connected to hot/live wires and black wires are connected to neutral wires. Blue wires are often used for connecting to neutral wires as well. Remember to always follow the wiring instructions provided with your specific light fixture.

How do you wire light fixture with three wires when there are two house wires?
CAN'T. Must have 3-wire w/ground. [First off, I want to admit that the wording of this answer is skewed. However, if you read the answer you will understand why. It is techinically correct in terms of the NEC. -TJNII] The idiot that wired my house did this. To add insult to injury he connected the hot to one circuit and the neutral to another. I was almost electrocuted because of it. Do it right or don't do it at all. Your negligence may kill someone.
Which colour wire is live in UK wiring?
In a flexible cable, the brown is the "line" voltage and blue is "neutral", often tied to ground at the mains panel. In fixed cables, i.e., "behind the walls", the UK wiring standard changed in 2004, where it now MATCHES the flexible cable: brown is line, blue is neutral. Prior to that, blue, red or yellow were acceptable LINE conductor colors and black was neutral.
What are the neutral colors?
The Neutral Colors are white,brown,grey and black.
