Chamois

Chamois is a soft, muted shade of orange with soft tan undertones. The color stems from a beautiful, supple tan leather made from the coat of the European mountain goat by the same name. This type of leather is renowned worldwide for its naturally soft surface. If you’re shopping for real chamois, look for leather gloves, small bags and pouches, and even sleek jackets. The warm brown undertones of this shade look beautiful with almost any color combination, so it’s a smart choice for durable, high-quality wardrobe pieces you can wear for years to come. As a rare mid-toned neutral, chamois works nicely with both black and white. It’s also flattering to most skin tones and pairs perfectly with your favorite jeans. If you plan to use this color for your walls, try softening the pure hue by a few shades to create a welcoming effect. Think the minimal look of crisp white walls suffused with a warmth that works with every architecture style and decor aesthetic. As for accent colors, pair this shade with rich, soothing blue-green, classic navy, bold black, and vibrant grass green. Layer various shades of off-white in different textures for a bohemian aesthetic that reads grown-up zen rather than garish tie-dye.
