I am thinking of painting our kitchen and dining room brown... right now our den is BM manchester tan, which i love... i just want to go darker in the dining room... it is so hard to pick from those little swatches!! Anyone have any colors or pictures to share?

I love that!! Not too dark... which is what i am worried about... the only thing is im not sure if DH will go for the pinkish undertones...
Thank you ladies for all of your suggestions!! Keep them coming!

It's hard to explain...the undertones don't scream "pink" or "purple" - they just make the brown a bit softer, warmer...than a black-brown like Bittersweet Chocolate (which is gorgeous). It's a very inviting color - like a mug of hot cocoa.
When my FIL was painting I got nervous b/c the first coat looked mauve (which is fine, except when you want cocoa!). The 2nd coat dried true to color.

We'll be painting our bedroom a dark brown, possibly BM's Van Buren Brown or Branchport Brown.
My sister used BM's Aura "Wengay" on her ceiling and I LOVE the color!!!

Re: anyone have BROWN rooms?
Our bedroom is brown (I forget the name but can look it up for you if you like it).
This is a close up of the wall so you can really see the color...
