Although brown is not an actual color of the rainbow, we see the color brown all around...

Everywhere we look we see brown...

We eat brown food...

We love chocolate brown, so rich and resplendant.

We live in brown houses...

  

Whether brick or stone or wood...

We fill our houses with it.

Brown adds a certain richness and warmth to our lives.

 

Many of us have brown hair (or used to...) 

(Yes, this is me, when I was young, skinny and had mostly brown hair.)

Brown looks wonderful with other colors.

Brown can also be murky... muddy.  Nature abounds with brown.



Brown is bold.  Beautiful.



Earthy.

Rich.

 

 

Brown.

This week at Rainbow Connections, we'll be exploring the color brown. Feel free to post your thoughts, photos, poems, and videos for the next week... and we'll see what brown brings...

You're right! When I read your first bit, I thought, "Yucko, brown." But then the pictures convinced me, it's a very nice color, especially in chocolate. Those looked so good!
