Kathmandu #AD9A5D Full codes, palettes, and pairings →The color
Why Kathmandu works
There is a cozy and dependable quality to Kathmandu. The gentle, warm brown at #AD9A5D rewards leather goods and autumn design. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.56:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
Palettes
The day's palette
Five colors, engine-built: a mid shade for depth, Kathmandu itself, two tints for light surfaces, and the complement for accents. Every swatch copies its hex; every name opens that color's page.
