earthy tones
Soil and clay
Earthy tones are colors found in soil, clay, and natural landscapes—browns, tans, terracottas, muted greens, and warm ochres.
The phrase appears most often in interior design and fashion: The room was decorated in earthy tones.
Earthy tones suggest warmth, groundedness, and natural simplicity, as opposed to bright or synthetic-looking colors.
