What goes with Light Brown Drab?

Light Brown Drab is a muted, mid pink from Sanzo Wada's A Dictionary of Color Combinations, the 1933 reference Awtfit uses to score every outfit it builds. Wada recorded 10 palettes containing Light Brown Drab. Those are the combinations below, and they are the ones Awtfit scores your wardrobe against.

How to wear it

As a rule, Light Brown Drab goes with olive, slate, chocolate and dark green, all of which ground it. Because it is muted, it behaves like a neutral, so build freely on top of it.

  • The safe version: Light Brown Drab plus one partner from its palette, plus a neutral in the largest area.
  • The lightness check: keep a clear step in brightness between it and whatever sits next to it, or the outfit goes flat however correct the hues are.
  • If you own one piece in it: treat that piece as the point of the outfit and build quietly around it.
