Brown
#7c4226
Brown here is a mid-dark chestnut, its red and yellow values balanced to give a warm, reddish tone, like polished conker shells or saddle leather. Wada pairs it with Vandyke Brown in a deep, tonal blend, with Ochraceous Salmon for a softer, sandy warmth, and with Helvetia Blue for a cool, crisp contrast. White text reaches 7.9:1, so it reads well at any size and makes a reliable dark text or panel color. Use it in leather goods, wooden furniture finishes, coffee packaging and autumn tweeds.
