Is brown is the new black?

Seems like brown is becoming the new black. Fashionistas are trying to make brown hip (again).

In the past month, we’ve seen the launch of Coca-Cola Blak (which is really dark brown).

Microsoft announced they will release the new Zune music player in brown.

Verizon is briskly selling the LG Chocolate mobile phone.

The color scheme of Ubuntu, the popular free linux operating system, is predominately brown.

A word to fashionistas: Please don’t influence us to wear a blue shirt with brown pants. It didn’t work in the 70’s and it still wont fly today.
