Luxury brown paints

Brown is a warm, earthy colour that pairs beautifully with a variety of complementary shades.

• To highlight its richness, colours like soft greens, muted oranges, or warm beiges create a balanced and harmonious look.
• For a more striking contrast, deep blues or teal provide a bold yet sophisticated pairing.
• Neutrals like cream, ivory, or charcoal also work well with brown, offering a more subtle, refined combination.

Ultimately, the best complement to brown depends on the desired mood and the balance of warmth and coolness in the space or design.

It is important to consider your room’s lighting and decor, as undertones can appear differently in various settings.

Here are some common brown undertones to consider:

Chocolate browns

Elegant and versatile, chocolate browns are rich in colour and have a timeless feel to them. These shades can be perfectly paired with wood and brick features in your home. Whether you are painting a striking feature wall or transforming smaller spaces, it creates cosy and inviting living areas.

When painting with brown tones, the choice of primer can significantly affect the final colour outcome.

For lighter or pale shades of brown, our White Primer is ideal as it helps to brighten the paint and ensure true colour representation.

For deeper or richer brown shades, our Grey Primer is a better choice, as it provides a neutral base that enhances the depth of the colour and prevents the underlying surface from affecting the final hue.
