What comes to mind when I think of brown?
The playful, loving, puppy prowess of a chocolate-taupe lab…

Wonderful! I didn’t think I liked the color brown that much, but those images are reminders of how prevalent the color (and it’s many shades) really are in our lives, and how beautiful the color brown can be.

Brown is my favorite color– only when it is accompanied with a good saturated dark teal!
Brown makes me thinking of a warm brownie– well I do have a sweet tooth.
And I walk one ADORABLE brown lab puppy that I just love to pieces…!!! So brown is a good color!

I LOVED these photos, and your comments!!! Did you notice how blue the giraffe’s tongue looked against all that brown? I have never noticed this before, but then I remembered before someone has said giraffes have blue tongues. What strange and beautiful animals are. Brown is pretty!!! Thanks

I love the lab picture. I have a black lab puppy. The eyes of that puppy is just precious!!
Learned something new about giraffes-blue tongues. Cool. I’ve always loved giraffes.
It wasn’t until the past year or so that I started appreaciating the color brown. Thanks.
Oohh, now I have a sudden craving for chocolate chip cookies….

I like the chocolate-coated lab, eyes staring at you, beckoning for some love, such innocent eyes! Brown is such a warm color, you can blend yellow, gold, and green with brown.
The chocolate chip cookies makes me think more creatively..makes me want everything chocolate…Mayan chocolate ice cream with chocolate liquor in chocolate syrup, hot coffee with some kahlua and a shot of creme de cacao, chocolate flavored mole chicken, and ’smores with Hersheys chocolate…I could go on and on, but my mouth would just be all brown…It would be brown heaven.
For the record, I have brown hair and brown eyes…
