When I think about brown, the three first words that come to my mind are Coffee, chocolate, and earth, which bring me to a balanced, comfortable, and secure place.
Brown is reminiscent of natural materials like wood and earth. Therefore, it can evoke a sense of appreciation for the natural world, the strength of the earth, and the beauty of simplicity.
The overall brown aesthetics: Brown aesthetics in images, decorations, outfits, and even movies, usually make us feel a sense of earthing, warmth, cozy and nostalgic rustic, wood, seriousness and maturity, falling leaves of autumn, and aged & vintage charm.
The brown moods can be split into different shades of brown aesthetics that visually represent specific lifestyles and storytelling. If you few drawn to the imagery evolving the color brown, now you will find out why and which brown aesthetic most represents you.
