Now let's look at combining brown with other colors.

Brown + white

White itself is universal, and therefore the combination of brown and white looks very harmonious. White fills the ensemble with light and freshness, diluting the gloom of brown. Therefore, it is preferable that it is white dominated, and brown is present as an additional one. For many, the combination of brown and white may seem too simple and boring. In this case, try adding a third cohesive color to your look, such as orange or gold.

Brown + beige

Unlike white, beige is softer. Basically, beige is a kind of light brown shade. Colors related to each other 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 and beige is self-sufficient. Here, pay more attention to the play of textures.

Brown + red

Red color is bright, sharp, carries energy and strength. On the other hand, brown is a very calm color. You can also add white or blue to this combination.

Brown + orange

The combination of brown and orange looks more harmonious than red. Orange is as energetic as red, but does not carry overwhelming power. He will rather charge you with optimism and good mood... The darker the brown, the more impressive its combination with orange looks. Use a shade of dark chocolate for contrast, combining it with an equally intense orange. White is suitable as the third color in this ensemble. White will not extinguish brown and orange, but will emphasize the depth of both colors.

Brown + yellow

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

Brown + green

Brown and green are literally made for each other. This combination is associated with a 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 matching shade of green - from emerald to olive. Light shades of green in a duet with brown look natural and restrained, and dark ones - spectacular and elegant.

Brown + blue

Brown and blue are one of the most creative combinations. The following rule applies here: dark blue shades should be combined with light brown ones, and, conversely, light shades of blue, as well as blue, look better with dark brown. The chocolate shade of brown in combination with turquoise looks very interesting and beautiful. The reddish brown color is perfect in tandem with blue denim. Blue itself is cold, and the neutrality of brown only emphasizes this coldness. But this is not a minus when it is necessary to demonstrate such qualities as dedication, reliability, practicality - these are the associations that the brown-blue combination evokes.

Brown + black

Black color is usually referred to as universal. But if you pair it with brown, the combination can turn out to be rather dark. The thing is that such a combination is low-contrast and inexpressive. This is only true for darker shades of brown. Therefore, the best solution would be to use light shades of brown so as not to overload the image, for example, beige, sand. You can also pick up saturated brown shades... Since black is achromatic and has no saturation, then a suitable brown should be saturated, for example, red-brown, yellow-brown.

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

Brown + Gold

Brown makes 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 and 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).
