               Recently, it seemed that everyone was asking me the question “what is the perfect brown for my bedroom?” Knowing that brown is a difficult color to choose off an inch by inch square paint sample, I went on the search for the perfect brown.  I started with my beloved and trusted Benjamin Moore deck. Fanning out the deck, I narrowed it down to two browns.  I ordered paint samples online (www.benjaminmoore.com) and painted them on white cardboard. My reward was finding the perfect brown for any bedroom.  Not too red and not too espresso, I discovered Middlebury brown HC-68.

Luckily, I had a client that was excited about using brown and was able to paint her walls with the same delicious color.  It turned out beautiful!
