Brown represents wholesomeness and earthiness. While it might be considered a little on the dull side, it also represents steadfastness, simplicity, friendliness, dependability, and health.
I've enjoyed the colors of summer and seeing them in your lives too. Here's to your health as we welcome autumn and wrap ourselves in the rich earthy hues of such a comforting color.
Brown is a warm neutral color that can stimulate the appetite. It is found extensively in nature in both living and non-living materials.
