Maple

Maple is a warm, earthy tone that is lighter than traditional brown, often resembling the color of sand or light wood. Complementary colors include sky blue, sage, blush, and shades of gray. Additionally, colors like cream, beige, and white also pair quite nicely. In fashion, maple is perfect for creating relaxed, laid-back looks, with sweaters, cardigans, or hoodies paired with jeans or leggings for a comfortable and stylish outfit. Add a pop of color by pairing light brown accessories, such as a handbag or shoes, with a colorful top. Pair a light brown cardigan with a floral dress for a boho-chic look, or layer a blazer over a white shirt and jeans for a polished and sophisticated ensemble. In interior design, consider using maple colored tiles in a bathroom for a neutral, calming look. Additionally, try similar colored furniture, décor accessories, or textiles to complement the tile color and create a cohesive look throughout the room. It can also be used as an accent color in a living room or kitchen to add warmth to the space.
