2022.09 - Find out how brown replaces black

Dark brown disappeared from the street scene for years, but is back in a big way next autumn/winter. Brown is not easily associated with a trendy, colourful wardrobe. Yet you can integrate brown perfectly into your outfit.

Brown, you might think ?! Probably not the colour you had in mind, but get used to it because brown is the new black. In this blog, discover a bit more about the colour brown and its matching colours that are trendy this season.

Colours can have a certain psychological impact on your mood. In this previous blog article, we discussed that light colours mainly induce positive feelings, while dark colours are more likely to induce negative feelings. But also, each colour in itself is said to have a certain effect on body and mind. For instance, the health and wellness website Verywell states that certain colours would increase blood pressure or metabolism, among other things. The article also confirms that colours can be used to influence mood.

Brown, for instance, also affects your mood. Brown is the colour of earth. It is a very natural colour that dominates the forest colour palette during the autumn months. Brown therefore gives a feeling of strength, reliability, warmth, comfort and security. However, brown is a dark colour, so it can also trigger negative emotions, such as loneliness and sadness.

Matching colours

Since brown, like black and white, is a neutral colour, many people find the colour rather basic on its own. But precisely because the colour is neutral, it makes a good base to combine with a lot of other colours. A stroke of luck... Below is a list of colours considered trendy this season in combination with brown:

• purple
• royal blue
• fuchsia red
• orange
• yellow
• grass green

So brown will be very popular next season and the possibilities with it are endless. Curious?
