I’ve been laughed at for saying brown is my favorite color. I think it deserves some love. Do you have any favorite things that are brown?

Question

Andrew A. Osborne · Answer

I must say, you and I are absolutely in lockstep on this one. Also, I refuse to concede that brown somehow does not match or “go with” black, when it sure as hell does. Brown is a lonely color. It does deserve love.: Because we’ve all known what it is to be the last pick by the team captain in gym class during the scrawnier years during which we awaited our growth spurts.
