#856d4d - French Bistre color

This warm, muted brown blends tawny chestnut with subtle olive-gray undertones, producing an earthy, vintage hue. Slightly desaturated and softly warm, it suggests autumn leaves, toasted leather, and aged wood. It brings grounded warmth without overpowering, working well as a backdrop in interiors or as an elegant accent in fashion and graphic palettes. Pair it with cream, burnt orange, moss green, or deep teal for contrast; it conveys cozy sophistication, rustic charm, and understated refinement.
