Verb. (third-person singular simple present forbodes, present participle forboding, simple past and past participle forboded). 1  To portend or foretell, especially of ill; to serve as a sign or ill omen.
For example, rich colors such as evergreen, burgundy or navy look striking in a rustic log cabin. However, because you're just using panels of color, there's no danger in the richness of these colors darkening the interior of the cabin.
Light Brown. Brown is a rich color that can bring visual drama to any space. When combining brown walls with a knotty pine ceiling and oak floor, choose a light brown to bring out the knots and grain of the wood. Brown is found in tree bark and trees, so it is an appropriate addition to a room filled with natural wood.
