Brown is all about security, credibility, and reassurance. It also tends to be soothing and comfortable. Browns wear well and are good for rooms that get a lot of use like family rooms. Browns also work well with spicy or warm colors. Like greys, browns span a broad range of neutrals and, depending on the shade, are appropriate for almost any room. Combined with unexpected colors like pale blue, fuschia, or chartreuse, browns can be exciting and sophisticated.

Brown is a feng shui color that had a big comeback in the recent years. It has a nourishing feng shui energy, and it came back in rich tones and associated with yummy dark chocolate, gourmet coffee and beautiful mahogany wood. It is an excellent feng shui color choice for the main entry, the kitchen, or as a feature wall in the living room or bedroom.
