copperybrown

Coppery brown is a color name used to describe a warm, reddish-brown tone with copper-like undertones. The term blends the metallic connotations of copper with the earthy base of brown, yielding a shade that can range from mid-tone to dark and may include a subtle metallic sheen in certain materials.

Variations of coppery brown appear in paints, dyes, and coatings, where the copper influence may be achieved with copper pigments, metallic flecks, or pearlescent additives. In different media, the intensity of the copper effect can vary, producing a spectrum from muted earth tones to brighter, more reflective finishes.

In fashion and cosmetics, coppery browns are common in hair color, lipstick, eyeshadow, and leather goods. In interior design, they are used to create warm, inviting spaces, often paired with creams, greens, or charcoal; finishes may be flat or metallic. In art and product design, coppery browns can be used to convey antiquity, rustic charm, or luxury depending on the context and lighting.

Perception and usage: Lighting influences the appearance of coppery brown; under warm incandescents it may read more reddish or orange, while daylight tends toward a coppery bronze. On screens, variations in color profiles can shift the perceived shade. Related colors include copper, bronze, auburn, russet, and chestnut. Coppery brown is commonly cataloged among warm browns and can serve as a versatile neutral in design schemes.
