Psychologically, brown is associated with modesty, rurality, and poverty. When used alone, brown can create a depressive atmosphere, but when combined with warm colors it displays comfort. Brown is commonly used in furniture and interior walls, and its effect depends more on the material used than the color itself.

    Characteristics of Colors, Interior Design And Their Psychological And Physiological Effects

    BROWN

    Psychological and Physiological Effect

    According to Chiazzari (1998), brown is associated with physical and emotional satisfaction, earthiness,

    reclusion and narrow mindedness. Heller's study (2009) conducted with participants in Europe and US
    suggests

    that people relate brown mostly with modesty, rurality and poverty. According to the questionnaire
    results,

    brown is the least liked colour.

    Use in interior:

    Pile (1997) believes that brown has a more positive effect on home comfort. If combined with warm
    colour

    shades, it displays comfort. However, when used alone, it creates a depressive atmosphere.

    In fact, people are used to seeing brown; it is the colour of earth, the colour of most tree trunks and
    mammals. Its

    different shades are commonly used in furniture and interior/exterior walls. In the use of brown, the
    determining

    factor is not the colour itself but the type of material that is chosen. The use of wood, which is a natural
    material,

    can create a warm atmosphere. However, if brown is used dominantly, it may have a detractive effect.
    Fast food

    restaurants are a good example for brown interior walls where customers are expected to eat quickly
    and leave

    rather than spend hours.


    Color Psychology (Aryaf Alnasuan, 2016)

     North America

    Brown is considered a dull and boring color while it is also associated with fertility, poverty, and
    unprocessed products. A good example of this is in the National Park signs and the coffee packaging
    (Riley, 1995).

     Caribbean countries

    Brown means alcohol and is common in Caribbean rum while silver and gold are associated with riches
    and pirates. Similar to Latin American countries, blue is also associated with death and pirates.

     Brazil

    Brown is the color of nature as it is the color of wood and numerous nut species. Black is a color of
    sophistication, religion, authority, and formality and is common in religious, formal, and widow’s
    clothing.

     Western European countries

    brown is the color of the earth and symbolizes masculinity as it is common in animal fur.

     Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines

    rown is the color of the earth and soil.

     Japan

    brown represents strength, and durability.

     Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales,

    brown is the color for manual labor, honesty, and the earth

    Coclusion

    Neutral colors such as black, gray, and white have less intense psychological effects as compared to the
    other two and include colors such as beige, brown, and tans.
