Finding colors that go with brown may seem like a difficult task, but believe me, it is far from being so. Although it is an earthy tone associated with the traditional, it is possible to create different styles with brown, completely escaping the sameness. And to understand how this is possible, it is first necessary to know what elements go with it:
Colors that go with brown
The following colors are not the only ones that go with brown, but they are the ones that will never fall into disuse and can be considered timeless:
Pastel and earthy tones
Creating a hygge environment, full of style and personality, with a touch of coziness, requires the combination of brown with earthy tones: red, orange, and marsala are perfect for this purpose.
Gray
Despite being a neutral color, brown is not easy to combine, because it doesn't go with everything. But what about marrying it with another neutral color, such as gray? If there will be a third, more striking color in this palette, gray will help create neutrality (especially in contemporary projects). But if there will only be the two colors in question, the classic aesthetic will be guaranteed.
Blue
Several shades of blue can be combined with brown, and bring different results to the decoration of an environment. Dark blue, for example, goes from classic to modern, collaborating to create a more intimate environment, while light blue contributes to a romantic and even contemporary aesthetic.

With white there is no mistake: any color can be combined with its neutrality. And this explosion of elegance between white and brown guarantees a classic, clean, modern, rustic, or Provençal environment. This is the perfect choice for those who don't want to dare in their project.
Black and green
Black and green offer different aspects to the decor when combined with brown, and together they fit perfectly with industrial or rustic design. But combined with brown separately, you can create classic, contemporary, Menphis, and even Scandinavian combinations.
Beige
Like gray, beige is the perfect counterpoint to balance brown combined with striking colors. But only the two together create a minimalist, contemporary, or classic environment - you choose.
