Color of the Week: Brown

Brown:  |broun|  noun.  the color of dark wood or rich soil; a color produced by mixing red, yellow, and black.

I love the color brown. It is the color of the earth. When I think of the color brown, I picture a few things - chocolate, coffee beans, cinnamon and pretzels. This natural color reminds me of the fall and winter seasons - the feelings of comfort, warmth and companionship.

When I see brown I feel grounded. I love umber and golden ochre the most. The names are my favorite - camel, mahogany, redwood, sienna, walnut. This warm down-to-earth color makes me feel balanced and peaceful. What does the color brown bring up for you?
