How does brown work as a wall paint?
The colour shade brown has a calming and grounding effect. As a colour from nature, brown has a relaxing effect and can be used anywhere. It conveys a sense of security and structure and is therefore very cosy. Thanks to its restraint, it is unobtrusive and remains in the background. As you can see, brown wall paint can be combined in many different ways.
However, the individual effect of brown depends very much on the predominant undertones. A brown-grey wall paint has a different effect than a wall in warm earth tones or an accent wall painted with dark brown chalk paint.
