What Colour is Brown
Brown is one of those strange colour blends that varies from a creamy coffee colour to an incredibly dark orange-purple colour and pretty much everything in between. As soon as you mention brown everyone has a different shade in mind so it's probably worth taking some time deciding on which brownish tones you're looking for and then checking out the natural brown stone tiles, porcelain, quartz and ceramic choices to narrow down your options with so many to choose from
Not A Rainbow Colour
Here's the strange thing, brown is the colour of earth and a huge part of our daily landscape but it's not a rainbow colour as would be made by an artist by darkening red, pink or orange with a grey or black pigment. Its hidden meaning is natural or down-to-earth
