How to wear ochre
An ochre piece looks great with jeans, black, brown or navy. With olive green or terracotta you get a fall look. For shoes, brown and camel are ideal. Gold accessories bring out its warmth.
Ochre in home decor
Ochre adds warmth on accent walls, throw pillows, blankets and ceramics. Pair it with white, cream, wood and petrol blue. With olive green and terracotta you get a Mediterranean or rustic style. It works really well in living rooms with natural light.
Ochre in graphic and web design
Ochre conveys warmth and tradition. Use dark text on it, and as a background, pair it with petrol blue or brown for a warm, readable design.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with lemon yellow or bright orange, because ochre looks dirty. It clashes with bubblegum pink.
