goldbraune

Goldbraune is a color term used in German to describe a warm shade that blends gold with brown. It is commonly applied to describe hair color, fur, leather, and certain finishes in design. The term signals warmth and richness and is frequently seen in fashion and interior design contexts.

Linguistically, goldbraune is a compound of gold and braun (brown). While goldbraun is often used as a straightforward color descriptor, goldbraune is the inflected form that appears before feminine nouns or in certain grammatical cases. In everyday usage, goldbraun is common, but you may encounter forms like goldbraune Haare or goldbraune Leder in written German.

In hair color, goldbraun denotes a warm brown with golden highlights, avoiding cool or ashy undertones. Hair color services may offer goldbraune shades to create a sun-kissed effect. In fashion and product design, the color is used to convey warmth and luxury and is frequently paired with other warm tones such as olive, terracotta, or cream.

Variants and related terms include goldblond (golden blond) and, less commonly, golden brown. The exact shade of goldbraun can vary by light source, material, and manufacturer, and there is no single standardized color code for the term across industries.
