Here at HGTV.com, we try to push the envelope with our Color of the Month choices. After all, not everyone goes for contemporary coral or intense neon hues. But sometimes we can’t deny the appeal of a traditional color choice. That’s right, this month the Color Team here actually agreed — almost unanimously — on our color for November. Want to know what it is?
Chestnut Brown! This warm, toasty color had us daydreaming of Thanksgiving turkeys, cozy cashmere sweaters, and rich leather sofas in front of a roaring fire.

After much discussion, my winning Chestnut Brown Pinterest board couldn’t be stopped this month. To me, it’s the color equivalent to a warm hug — it’s inviting and welcome in every kind of room, from modern to the most traditional.

Managing Editor Lili voted for Chestnut because “This rich brown with its red undertones feels just right for November. We’re all hunkering down for cold weather and this cozy, cozy color warms everything from hair to sweaters to sofas.”

Chestnut Brown is like hot chocolate with a pinch of cinnamon. What say you, intrepid Design Happens readers? Do you welcome this toasty color into your home this time of year?
I LOVE this quote: "To me, it’s the color equivalent of a warm hug…" – so true!

This is a perfect color for November. Very warm and cozy.
I have the darkest brown on the pallet as my living room wall color. It makes me feel warm & cozy as. Cuddle up under a blanket.

A beautiful color.
Beautiful warm and inviting colors…fantastic palette!
Love the color. Aside from the fact that my maiden name is brown lol, it's a color that just about every other color goes well with. I just did one accent wall of brown in our guest room and it is so welcoming esp with shades of pumpkin orange at this time of year. Plan on silver or red with it in winter and celery green or yellow in spring. It's the perfect color for the month of turkeys and bare trees and football. Thumbs up.:)
Love the colors! Think I need to get painting.
How do I find these actual paint colors, please?
Please use protective eyewear!
Love this and Design Seeds!
Agreed! Perfect color for November. Chestnut brown with a pinch of cinnamon as you say, is the best of both worlds. Thanks Marianne! EcoStylishHome.com
