warm brown
Cozy autumn hue
Warm brown describes a shade of brown with undertones of red, orange, or yellow rather than gray or blue.
These browns feel inviting and earthy—think of terra cotta, caramel, or autumn leaves.
The term appears frequently in interior design, fashion, and hair color: The room was painted in warm browns and creams.
Warm browns complement golden or olive skin tones.
