Warm brown
A concentrated shade of brown that conveys serious warmth and bundles finely modulated shadows in clear tranquility.
Brown 525 is a dark, warm brown with moderate saturation and a compact luminosity. The tone appears earthy, stable, and calm, creating an atmospheric weight that nevertheless remains controlled. Psychologically, it conveys support, grounding, and quiet authority.
This shade of brown evokes historical leatherwork, traditional furniture craftsmanship, and the rich color palette of classical painting. In fashion, it appears in patinated surfaces, dense wool, or textured leather, creating a subdued opulence. In interior design, it unfolds a special effect when combined with natural stone, dark wood, and matte metal alloys. Color-wise, it harmonizes with earthy ochres, soft greens, and smoky blues, while light neutrals provide a graphic clarity that precisely defines its depth.
