As the Fall 2010 colors begin to emerge, the autumn-inspired palette of purple and brown is definitely a trend to watch.  As you know, purple is my fave and I’m also glad to see that brown is still hot.

I’m also loving the different variations:  lavender, taupe, plum, chocolate, periwinkle, espresso, violet, mocha…

I’ve also been known to do a little lilac paired with khaki and chocolate, myself:

    Well Kelly: I have to say that purple and its variations is not really one of my favorite colors…but! I love all your pictures here…and the color palette at top! And actually I think your lilac and khaki and chocolate is my favorite! It’s been a year since I first saw this trend emerging at Maison in Paris…and it has certainly continued to ascend.

    I have only come to the purple fan club over the last few years, but I’m wholly intrenched in in now! To pair it with brown is so sophisticated and chic. Love it very much…great pics!

    This is too funny! I also did a post on purple today:-). It is usually not a go to colour for me for interior design, but that may change soon…

    I don’t have anything against purple as an accent color in interiors. I do not, however, like purple and brown together that much. That being said, I definitely prefer the rich shades in the top (Amanda Nisbet) room. Thanks for the interesting post.

    Hi Kelly! Just stumbled upon your blog and when I saw the title “Purple and Brown” I was drawn in. Love this combination of colors and the above design ideas are just great. Really liked the last image with the added khaki tone, and the fun/fluffy area rug ;) Thanks for sharing, great inspiration!

    I love purple but I prefer not to use it with brown as I think the brown can drag the vibrancy out of it if you’re not careful.

    I love this color combination and would like to decorate my bedroom with the color scheme, very relaxing variation.

I enjoy reading your comments!
