Not a shade to necessarily stand out from the crowd or make a dramatic impact on its own, brown works well as a background neutral and in coordination with other hues to make them pop. “Brown adapts and changes our perception of the [surrounding] colors in a very special way,” explains Jane Boddy, a creative contributor at the Pantone Color Institute in Europe. “Something that has been previously overlooked in brown has now become its essential edge: brown’s ability to ground bright colors whilst creating sophisticated nuances is rare.”

Midsummer Night by Benjamin Moore
“We love this moody, minky brown tone: Midsummer Night. The warmth and sophistication really elevates any space. This color works well in a bedroom, lounge, or office space.” —Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters, Forbes Masters
Whipped Mocha by Benjamin Moore
The creamy shade Whipped Mocha by Benjamin Moore adds an earthy touch to this mudroom designed by Weeth Home.
Whipped Mocha by Benjamin Moore
“A shade we have been really gravitating to lately is Benjamin Moore’s nuanced hue, Whipped Mocha. It is a complex sandy brown with rosy undertones that beautifully complements both creamy trim and dark accents. It takes well to cabinetry, trim, and walls alike. Used in a mudroom, it gives a cozy, classic English boot room vibe. But it works equally as well in a polished paneled bedroom, adding softness and sophistication. We loved it juxtaposed with woven and jute accents.” —Jess Weeth, Weeth Home
Sable by Sherwin-Williams
Sable by Sherwin-Williams is a favorite of Shea McGee.
Sable by Sherwin-Williams
“Sable by Sherwin-Williams is one of my favorite rich brown paint colors. I’ve been dying to paint an entire room in it for a while, keeping all of the furnishings and fixtures in the same palette for a tonal feel. This shade works really well in a smaller space, like an office, that’s meant to feel cozy and relaxing.” —Shea McGee, Studio McGee
