Though muddy and not one of the brightest colors, brown is still essential for use in Witchcraft. Its simple color harbors strong magickal influences that every Witch should familiarize themselves with. Do not focus on how brown isn't a pop of color, but instead focus on what you can use the color for. That is what we are here to show you, after all. Let us learn how important the color brown is and how you can use it in your arsenal of magick knowledge.
The color brown symbolizes endurance, solidity, and grounding. You will feel reassured and stable, especially when it comes to keeping your head clear to make a decision. You should also feel like you have a better structure in your life and want to organize, so items are always ready for you.
Brown shows that people are sincere, genuine, and reliable. You can quickly tell if you can put your faith in someone if they appreciate the color brown without needing to wear or flaunt it. But for people repelled by the welcoming and wholesome color, you may want to be wary as they may not show their true colors or can be fully trusted.
It brings about safety, security, and support. People who wear brown will have a sense of safety both against mental and physical harm. It should also bring about the want of people around you to help and support you and your goals. For some, it can trigger honesty, especially in yourself or around others, or can help you figure out who around you is truthful or hiding things from you.
Brown can bring about a positivity that will guide your feelings and the results of your spells. People who wear the color brown are approachable, friendly, and are generally supportive in nature. You can rely on these people to always have your back, even if they don't always vocalize it. Brown can help you stay structured and honest and can provide comfort when you are unsure.
Brown does have some adverse effects you will need to be careful of, especially if you get bored quickly. Its shade can dull people's energies and emotions, making them not enjoy what they are doing. It can also make people act cheap or stingy. So, if you are prone to being easily swayed by your emotions, be cautious when working with brown or wearing it.

Aside from its symbolism, the color brown has other ways it can be used in magick.
Since brown is an Earth color, it can be used when Earth energy is needed. Or, in some spells, it can even be used to replace an animal part if you cannot obtain it. Note that brown cannot replace every animal as some animal parts are essential for a spell. But, you can experiment with what spells will accept brown as a replacement for the needed animal part.
When you burn a brown candle or carry a brown colored object with you, it can help you reconnect with the natural world. This is important for Witches who work more with nature as brown will keep them centered and grounded.
If you paint your home brown, it can bring stability and positivity to the home. Create charms using brown colored objects and hang them in your home with inscriptions on them to bring luck, prosperity, and peace to the home.
You can find other fun magickal uses for the color brown using its previously stated effects. The more creative you are, the better and stronger brown's influences will become.
Here are some other shades of brown and how they can aid in your magickal uses. The standard brown color can offer these aides, but it will not be as strong as when used by a specific shade of brown.
Light brown is a friendlier, more approachable color, so it can be used in spells surrounding friendship and growth in bonds. It can boost sincerity and honesty, and it can reveal if someone is genuine or not.
As it is stronger in color, dark brown can trigger some sad thoughts. You want to be careful of this shade if you are prone to depression or moments of deep sadness. But when conquered, this color is an aide for people wanting to boost their material wealth.
Tan is a familiar shade of brown seen almost everywhere due to its diversity. It is straightforward and uncomplicated. It will not take over when being used in a spell. Instead, it will be a lovely compliment and supportive color.
Ivory
Ivory is a calming shade of brown, mostly used for subtle aid. But it can also bring a boost of encouragement without being overwhelming. It is best to use this shade of brown for simple spells so as not to overwhelm the color.
Beige
Though dull for some, beige is a rather reliable color. It can be your go-to color when you need a loyal companion during a spell. It can provide constant and loyal energy for you to use, so long as you are conservative about it.
The color brown and all of its shades can come together to strengthen a spell or ritual, focusing on the energy the color radiates. Since it is a color associated with the Earth element, you can add bits of dirt, plants, or other aspects of nature that are brown to bring the color's influences.
Do be aware of the color's adverse effects, especially if you add too much of it to your spells, as it can quickly ruin a hard-worked spell. But, with the right balance of color, you should have a more potent spell and a better success rate. Take your time studying this color and all of its effects, and you will be able to conquer this bland yet powerful color.
