The Color Brown One color that can leave a wide variety of impressions is brown. Some people can find it elegant and trendy, others find it reminds them of dirt or mud. Brown is created by adding black to colors, typically to red or yellow complements. Brown in Nature The color brown is seen in a wide variety of shades in nature, from tree bark, to leaves to earthy colors of dirt or sand. It is typically associated as an accent in nature rather than as the featured object. The neutral tones of brown can make it a great background for any setting whether it is interior or exterior. Various shades of brown can also be preferred colors of camouflage for animals such as birds and squirrels. The Shades of Brown The range of brown shades for decorators and artists extends from the very light and neutral beige tones all the way to the deep and rich chocolate tones. Brown, especially dark brown, is growing in popularity as a primary decorating color accented by shades such as lime green, robin egg blue or a soft pink. Pale, beige shades are sometimes thought to be the result of someone being too indecisive about a color selection. However, beige accented with other bright or warms colors such as reds or deep colors such as a darker brown or black, can actually present itself with a very modern twist. |  — Color coordinates —
