Khaki in graphic and web design

Khaki is a warm neutral background for outdoor or casual fashion brands. Use dark brown or navy text on it for good contrast.

What to avoid

Avoid pairing it with beige or camel that's almost the same shade, because it looks like they don't match. Pale yellows next to it make it look dingy.
