27 Examples of Brown Color Combinations

Brown is a composite color that often results from mixes of different hues. Anyone who has experimented with mixing watercolors knows that mixes of random colors often produce either brown or grey. As such, brown is a pervasive color in nature that is perceived as rich, earthy and neutral. It is an easy color to match. Historically, brown and black were thought to clash but this has been relaxed to some degree. The following are examples of brown color combinations.
