The official idea, according to the Barclays Center bumf, is that the colour of the exterior is supposed to suggest the brownstones of Brooklyn. I have never seen brownstones that colour used in building, either in person or in photographs. What it does suggest to me is a gigantic turd.

I'd never heard that reason before, but interestingly enough if you google image search "Brooklyn brownstone' you get a lot of pictures of buildings that are a pretty similar shade. Personal taste is personal taste though, we're not all going to like the same things.
