My former life as an advertising art director meant I spent a lot of time at press checks for print work, and all browns are notoriously difficult to bring any life into. Chocolate for example looks like a turd without some serious retouching (hence all the shiny highlights in photos). Separately this colour was all the rage for cars in the 70's: example of a series 1 xj6 in 'sable' https://www.jaguarheritage.com/car/1968-jaguar-xj6-series-1-4-2-litre-saloon/ https://www.jaguarheritage.com/car/1968-jaguar-xj6-series-1-... This car is stunning in real life IMO Terence Conran's UK Habitat furniture stores relied heavily no mushroomy colours like this as high fashion back then also. Beauty is in the eyes of the fashion creators...
