Welcome to Brown
Beige may not be a primary color, but it’s worth mentioning because of its accentuating effects: it takes on the characteristics of the colors around it. While dull on its own, its enhancing effects make it a powerful choice as a background or secondary color.
Below you can see all the browns. Copy and paste some of your favorites to use in digital color projects or hand off to your favorite Nerdy Web Guy to use in your next project.
Keep in mind it’s worth making a few selections both light and dark.
