I remember once complaining that it was brown and my mother told me it was cafe au lait and I looked at her and said, "Mom, it's BROWN."

I was watching a Trading Spaces episode, and the owner opened her eyes at her new room and nearly cried. "I said I was hoping for any color than brown!" The woman host looked distressed and said "We thought you'd like the taupe." "Taupe?" "This color." "You mean, the brown?"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.

I'm with Zen. I hates it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'd just think that a Color of the Year would be a bit more ... exciting? inspiring? Something that you look at and think "yes! I must paint my room that color!"

Wonder what Pantone's color of the year will be ... if it's any shade of brown I'm going to give up.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Pantone's are worse IMO. rose Quartz and serenity basically light pink and blue.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's not too far off from what I painted my bedroom, except the brand I used called it "nightingale grey." It's very soothing.

I kind of like Pantone's ... I think the pale blue and pink is pretty. One year it was emerald green, which I liked. Even got color of the year nail polish for that one. But brown? it's one of my least favorite colors - I don't even wear it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

nightingale grey

from Behr? That's a pleasant soft grey. I like it. The other one, I don't know, it's the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me.

rose Quartz and serenity basically light pink and blue.

So, BOTH nursery colors together.

Rose Quartz & Serenity = Steven Universe & Firefly

These colors are why I can't find clothes in colors I like. Dammit, I'm going to have to learn how to sew properly now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm sorry Cass. I'm holding you and your family in my thoughts and hoping that your niecephews are found.
