Why Are My Birth Control Pills Only For Three Weeks Instead Of Four?

I have a question about my birth control pills. My first two packs had brown pills but now my third pack does not and where it doesn't have the brown pills it only has pills for 3 weeks instead of 4. After I take the last pill for the third week do I go 7 days without taking a pill and then start back on the new pack?
