As the furniture industry and consumers look for the next new base color direction away from grey, we see a range of soft browns becoming increasingly important. These warm neutral colors range from a rich espresso, to a mid-toned nutmeg, and as light as café au lait. Beautifully mixing with many shades of tinted cream, and easy to accent with deeper blues and mustards, these brown shades offer a “toastier” and cozy alternative to the still popular grey foundation colors.
