It can be benign, friendly, versatile and totally up to date. How can you not love brown? What do you think of when brown is mentioned? Milk Chocolate, a Brown Dog, Mother Earth? Brown is not a threatening color and it can balance out almost any color. With the right brown you can make an environment feel stable or well grounded. This ability is the reason that brown can be seen on many historical buildings. It has stood the test of time. You will find a combination of browns, beige and whites. Some have described brown as friendly. Keep it brown, but add some red-tones and create a southwest look. Or add Terra Cotta or Brushed Clay and it appears warm. Even the addition of Black can warm up the look as apposed to White. It is very versatile! Browns can be great neutrals that when paired with other colors, can really make them POP! Oranges, Yellows, Reds and Greens all work wonderfully with brown. Think about pairing brown with Salmon, Slate, Bayberry Green, Sea Green or pick up a piece of drift wood and choose one of the grays that you see in the wood. Brown and Blue can also be a great combo, for instance Chocolate Brown looks fabulous with Federal Blue. But then what about Snow White, or Pitch Black or Barn Red or Marigold Yellow,all winners. The hit color for the beginning of 2013 was Gray. It is still very popular as the year has continued but Brown is appearing with Gray and is gaining in popularity so perhaps it will be the "Top Brown Dog". Wood tones are always popular and people are falling in love with dark wood stains again. I have painted over a lot of cabinets that were stained and it looked like dark stained wood was on the way out. However, it is gaining momentum and a renewed interest. I painted the outside of my house last fall "Espresso". The house is cedar sided and it was looking pretty worn out. I live in country and the color fits in wonderfully. I have also painted several sets of Kitchen Cabinets this year and guess what color the customer is choosing? Brown! I also bought a new laptop computer and it is Brown. So if you are not on board with brown, maybe you should be. It is the latest "Hot" color and will stay around for quite a while.
