I don't wear much brown, but I love brown in combination with other colours. Pale or teal blue. Purple (natch). Berry reds or hot scarlets. Even orange, or pink. This sort of warm 'milk chocolate' seems to work particularly well with other colours. In fact, most mid to dark toned browns do. Less harsh than black, they somehow enhance the warm or cool qualities of other colours without fighting against them.
I'm going to try a few other combos and some different stitches until I get a comination that I really like. Fun, fun!

I am not a brown fan either. (Both my high-school uniforms were brown. Enough said.) But your swatches are beautiful! What yarn is that?
Um ::scuffs foot in embarassement:: cheap wool from Lincraft. At $4.99 a 100g ball it's not bad, the colours (some of them anyway) are nice and it feels quite soft. I'm too poor to buy expensive yarn at the moment! And no, I'm not defensive! Much. :)
There is nothing wrong with cheap wool from Lincraft!
Your stitches are so uniform and neat!
FG, it's a Virgo thing. Order must be maintained.
