All colors are carriers of the symbol. The yellow sun and light, green is reminiscent of the prairie grass while blue is associated with the firmament and Mary, the Mother of God and Jesus. For centuries, brown is associated with the Franciscan movement.
Brown is synonymous with humility. It is the color of the earth, earth Jesus walked to his feet to teach, heal, comfort. Brown like the cross, the tree where our Savior was suspended so that we gain the grace of eternal life. Brown as the dark night when God, the night light. The brown is the color that is used by icon painters to paint [write] faces. Yes, brown like the face of the inhabitants of Palestine, in Galilee. Brown like the face of Jesus, beloved face.
Beige and brown are for my eyes and my soul as musical notes with the image of Francis, Clare and Jesus under a sky of Assisi printed on the back burner. Brown has for me a little something of biblical when combined with Francis and Jesus. God gave us eyes to see and intelligence to discern the difference ... It also gave us a soul to taste the things above. In short, Brown is one of those symbols that call to prayer.
So I chose a brown and a writing style with shades of brown in connection with my religious family.
