Dark brown
A powerfully dense shade of brown that captures subtle warmth and unfolds its depth with calm determination.
Cuban Brown 429 is a very dark, warm brown with low brightness and concentrated saturation. The tone appears heavy, yet clearly defined, creating an atmosphere of density and tranquility. The color conveys stability, serious character, and a controlled intensity that visually grounds the space.
Cuban Brown 429 evokes classic tobacco finishes and the gravitas of historical interiors. In fashion, the hue finds expression in durable leather goods, deep woolens, and contoured cuts. In interiors, it pairs particularly convincingly with brushed brass and dark brown stone surfaces. In color systems, it brings clarity when combined with cool neutrals, off-white, or muted greens. Its cultural connotations range from artisanal craft traditions to modern, minimalist design languages where dark tones create structural precision.
