Now let's look at the combination of brown with other colors.

Brown + white

White color in itself is universal, and therefore the combination of brown and white looks very harmonious. White fills the ensemble with light and freshness, diluting the darkness of brown. Therefore, it is preferable that white dominates, and brown is present as an additional one. To many, the combination of brown and white may seem too simple and boring. In this case, try adding a third binder color to the image, for example, orange or gold.


Brown + beige

Unlike white, beige is softer. Basically, beige is a kind of light brown hue. Related colors are successfully combined in one ensemble. Brown-beige gives a feeling of warmth, comfort, relaxation. It is not necessary to use other color accents in this combination, because the duet of brown with beige is self-sufficient. Here, pay more attention to the game of textures.


Brown + red

The red color is bright, sharp, carries energy and strength. Brown, on the contrary, is a very calm color. You can also add white or blue color to this combination.



Brown + orange

The combination of brown and orange looks more harmonious than with red. Orange is as energetic as red, but it does not carry overwhelming power. He will rather charge you with optimism and good mood. The darker the brown, the more effective its combination with orange looks. Use a shade of dark chocolate for contrast, combining it with the same intense orange. As the third color in this ensemble, white is suitable. White does not fade brown with orange, but emphasizes the depth of both colors. If you want to know, then read a separate article on this topic.


Brown + yellow

The combination of brown with yellow is warm and sunny. These colors are close to each other on the color wheel. It is recommended to use not bright saturated yellow color, but its lighter, blurry shades. In this case, you will get a soft, calm image. It is better to use yellow as the main color, and pair with it accessories (shoes, bag) of brown color.


Brown + green

Brown and green are literally made for each other. This combination is associated with the tree and its foliage. Green brings freshness and coolness to the ensemble, creating a beautiful contrast with warm brown. And, quite surprisingly, for every shade of brown there is a suitable shade of green - from emerald to olive. Light shades of green in a duet with brown look natural and restrained, and dark ones look spectacular and elegant.


Brown + blue

Brown with blue is one of the most creative combinations. This rule applies here: dark blue shades should be combined with light brown, and, conversely, light shades of blue, as well as blue, look better with dark brown. Chocolate shade of brown combined with turquoise looks very interesting and beautiful. A tan color is perfect in tandem with blue denim. Blue in itself is cold, and the neutrality of brown only emphasizes this coldness. But this is not a minus when you need to demonstrate such qualities as determination, reliability, practicality - these are the associations that cause the brown-blue combination.


Brown + black

Black color is usually referred to as universal. But if you pair it with brown, the combination can turn out pretty gloomy. The thing is that such a combination is low contrast and inexpressive. Only this is true for dark shades of brown. Therefore, the optimal solution would be to use light shades of brown so as not to overload the image, for example, beige, sand. You can also choose saturated brown shades. Since the black color is achromatic and does not have saturation, the brown that suits it must be saturated, for example, red-brown, yellow-brown.

The combination of black and brown was used in their collections by the great Yves Saint Laurent.



Brown + golden

Brown is a successful duet with gold, emphasizing its sophistication and luxury. If you need to demonstrate your respectability and high status, take note of this color combination. Dark shades of brown, like black coffee and chocolate, look especially impressive with gold. Naturally, brown with gold in clothes is more appropriate for evening outings. But this combination can be used during the day if brown is the main color and gold is used as a small accent (in accessories).
