Fawn Color

HEX color code is #E5AA70 and the RGB is 229, 170, 112

Fawn’s bright orange undertone makes it a color that is commonly associated with energy, stimulation, activity, and mental acuity. It has a vibrancy that invokes a sense of excitement and a dynamic personality. For instance, in Michaelangelo’s painting of the Libyan Sibyl, her dress is a bright Fawn and her posture depicts a sense of activity as she strains to close the gigantic book she is reading.

How the color is made: To make Fawn mix Very Pale Yellow with Strong Orange, this will result in a hue that is bright and airy.

History: Historically, Fawn has been associated with invigoration and uniqueness and was often used to portray characters or events that were considered out of the ordinary to everyday life, like when the Delphic Sibyl is depicted reading.

Color in Action

Fawn has gained popularity as a wedding color because it looks stunning as bridesmaid’s dresses in Summer wedding ceremonies. The light and floaty color of Fawn looks exquisite next to the brilliant White of the bride’s dress and the dark Black of the groom’s suit, and it also looks fantastic in flower arrangements when placed beside emerald green leaves.
A dining room that is painted a light Fawn color allows the space to feel open and airy while also creating a place that feels relaxing and that encourages people to each and talk. Fawn also works well in a kitchen and can be used as an accent color in light shades, dishtowels, and small kitchen appliances like kettles and toasters.
