Trending: Brown Shades

SHADE 01 · OUR BEST SELLER

Start with Espresso

If you only look at one brown, make it Espresso. It is our number-one best-selling brown: a rich, deep shade that flatters every skin tone and works in just about any wedding setting.

SHADE 02 · NEW

Meet Café Noir

There is a new brown in town. Café Noir is a deep, dark brown that is almost black, inspired by a really rich cup of black coffee. From a distance it reads like black. Up close, you get that warm brown undertone.

SHADE 03

Chocolate Brown, rich but not too dark

This is a true medium brown. You get that warm, earthy look without going all the way into the deepest shades. It feels grounded in the summer sun and just as beautiful against the richer tones of fall.
