How to wear camel
A camel coat is a wardrobe staple: it looks great with black, gray, navy or jeans. Add a white or cream sweater for a bright look. For shoes, choose black, dark brown or white. A camel bag goes with almost any outfit.
Camel in home decor
Camel works in leather sofas, armchairs, throw pillows and rugs. Pair it with white, light gray or sage green walls. With black lamps and frames it looks modern; with wood and linen, more rustic. A touch of petrol blue or wine adds depth.
Camel in graphic and web design
Camel has little contrast with white text, so use dark text on it. It's a good background color for fashion, leather or quiet-luxury brands, with black or navy accents.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with yellows or oranges that are too similar, because camel loses its impact. Next to very light beige with no contrast, it can look washed out.
