Colors in Nature

Brown ~ part 7

Maybe the least vivid of all colors in nature, brown can still be quite beautiful. Countless mammals are brown as well as many different birds, especially females. Brown is also the staple color of winter when there is no snow on the ground. In the right light and with the right background the dull color of brown can still be captured beautifully. Since it is not as flashy as many other colors brown can also be quite the challenge to find since it helps to camouflage a wide variety of wildlife. Thanks again for following along, next up is purple.
