I think brown is such an ordinary color. According to my Merriam-Webster’s dictionary brown is any of a group of colors between red and yellow in hue, of medium to low lightness and of moderate to low saturation. Brown is the color of chocolate though, so it can’t be all bad.
Here are thirteen shades of brown:
1. Nutmeg
2. Chestnut
3. Bronze
4. Mushroom
5. Cocoa
6. Rust
7. Earth
8. Mahogany
9. Mocha
10. Coffee
11. Raisin
12. Copper
13. Umber
Do you like brown? What’s your favorite color? Your most hated color? And a question for writers: when you give your characters brown hair, do you call it brown or use an interesting description such as those above?
